    I have asked on Twitter if anyone could sign it for me. For some reason neither of the two people who tried to do so were able to sign it. No idea why. kexts were signed but they k…

    iOS is vulnerable too as far as the vulnerability is concerned. It is not directly exploitable on iOS, however having a NULL task_t still does give you some abilities, even if not …

    while I agree with you on the security benefits of a full microkernel, to be entirely honest, if you had access to just IOKit you could easily use a network card or an hard drive c…

    well, this bug is a null pointer deference. smap is like -no_shared_cr3, but without the performance loss.

    Then you should not install them on a machine with confidential data at all, source or binary. It's that simple!

    for the record: "At 0x20 I place a POP RAX;RET gadget" should be "At 0x18 I place a POP RAX;RET gadget".

    for the record: i had no idea yesterday was saturday at the time I dropped the code.

    I did not have the patch ready when the exploit was published, that's the only reason why. I had my reasons to publish the exploit in public yesterday, but all I can say is "no com…

    You are not vulnerable since you have SMAP!

    If the heap info leak fails, I bail out cleanly. If the kASLR leak fails, it is usually because instead of hitting a vm_map_copy (the intended structure I need to corrupt), somethi…

    1) I cannot really discuss specifics, but this particular bug would have been hard to find via a traditional IOKit fuzz, since it requires an invalid 'task' port passed over to IOS…

    'sudo nvram boot-args=-no_shared_cr3' will do the trick. The flag essentially prevents kernel from accessing userland memory unless special routines are used. Since the bug is a NU…

    Yes, it is.

    add -no_shared_cr3 to your boot-args. it will have an hefty performance penalty, but if you value security over performance, it'll also protect you against a lot of (even 0day!) ex…

    There is no weakness in address randomization I relied on for exploitation. It relies on two distinct bugs, an info-leak to obtain a pointer to an allocation in the kalloc.1024 zon…

    Interesting. I am on 10.10.4 myself, and that's the OS I tested it on. tpwn has been tested from 10.9 to 10.10.5, but of course, your mileage may vary. the KASLR leak part is not 1…
