[binary] Exploiting Null Derefs and Windows Type COM-fusion

Published: Jan. 26, 2023, 1 a.m.

Null-dereferences might not be too exploitable on a lot of systems, what about the handling of a null-dereference. We cover a great Project Zero post on the topic, then look at a type confusion in Windows COM, a Nintendo buffer overflow, and several memory corruptions in git, highlighting their unique primitives and potential exploitability.
