Month of Kernel Bugs Begins…
Unfortunately I've fallen off a little on my blogging lately.. but things will hopefully be back on track..
I previously mentioned MOKB and the tool fsfuzzer. Being that it is November 1st, the project is off in full force. The initial bug was contributed by HD Moore and and affects the Apple Airport. The bug affects the Airport driver for older (1999-2003) Orinoco-based cards.
In addition to the MoKB page, the Kernel Fun blog has been started to document each of these.
I still haven't had time to play with this tool (fsfuzzer) (my primary computer died over the weekend... if you want to send me a new one, feel free to)... However it is on my list of things to do...
I'm looking forward to the vulnerabilities that will come pouring out of this project... Considering these affect the kernel, they could be pretty dangerous.
Brian Krebs of the Washington Post has a great write-up on this subject.
