Although Kindle e-readers are a prime target in modding and jailbreaking communities, there is little public work about vulnerability research in remote code execution scenarios.
In this post, we give technical details about a chain of vulnerabilities we identified that can be triggered by downloading a malicious Audible audiobook, allowing to take full control of the device and its registered Amazon account.
Remote Play Together, developed by Valve, allows sharing local multi-player games with friends over the network through streaming. The associated protocol is elaborate enough to shelter a valuable attack surface that has scarcely been ventured into in the past.
This post covers the reverse engineering of the protocol and client/server implementations inside Steam, before presenting a dedicated fuzzer that unveiled a few critical vulnerabilities.
This is the third installment in my three-part series of articles on fuzzing Microsoft’s RDP client, where I explain a bug I found by fuzzing the smart card extension.
