About this blog

Hacking techniques include penetration testing, network security, reverse cracking, malware analysis, vulnerability exploitation, encryption cracking, social engineering, etc., used to identify and fix security flaws in systems.

The method AppleGraphicsControlClient::checkArguments does actually appear to test whether the pointer at this+0xd8 is non-null, but uses it anyway :)

We can race external methods which call this with another thread calling IOServiceClose to get a NULL pointer there.

By mapping the NULL page in userspace this gives us trivial kernel RIP control as the code makes a virtual call on a NULL object pointer.

tested on OS X 10.11.4 (15E65) MacBookPro 10,1
