Wow. A universal, unprivileged local kernel stack use-after-free enabling ~97%-reliable privilege escalation and container escape via a constrained write primitive, control-flow hijack, and ROP
Read our technical walkthrough here to see how we won almost $10k bug bounty from a single Linux kernel 0-day -- GhostLock.
Chaining GhostLock with a Firefox 0-day, we managed to remote control any Android device (even the latest Android 17) from a simple URL click. We name this full-chain exploit "IonStack", because it's IonMonkey 0-day in Firefox and a StackOverflow in Linux kernel.
