[binary] An XNU Exploit and a Chrome Heap Overflow

Published: Feb. 9, 2023, 1 a.m.

First, we take a look at some positive changes to OSS Fuzz, then we dive into some vulnerabilities. This includes an XNU heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability, a Chrome heap-based overflow vulnerability, and an out-of-bounds read in cmark-gfm that, while probably not exploitable, is still intriguing.
