I had the pleasure to contribute to Lukas Maar's #USENIX2024 paper "SLUBStick".
SLUBStick elevates limited heap vulnerabilities within the #Linux kernel to arbitrary memory read-and-write primitives, leveraging a timing side channel.
Thanks to Lukas Maar, Martin Unterguggenberger, Mathias Oberhuber and Stefan Mangard for this great opportunity!
Congratulations to Lukas Maar for driving the paper to acceptance at USENIX Security!

Following that, we had Franzen et al.'s "RandCompile: Removing Forensic Gadgets from the Linux Kernel to Combat its Analysis" proposing to use software diversity to #harden the #LinuxKernel against #AutomatedAnalysis.(https://www.acsac.org/2023/program/final/s276.html) 3/5
