Four More Bugs Patched in Microsoft’s Azure Sphere IoT Platform - Researchers have unearthed more vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s IoT security solution. https://threatpost.com/four-more-bugs-patched-in-microsofts-azure-sphere-iot-platform/158643/ #elevationofprivilege #rsaconference2018 #internetofthings #vulnerabilities #azuresphere #ptrace #iot

what do you do if you opened a file in vim in a different terminal?

reptyr PID_OF_VIM

But in more recent systems this may fail. The reason is limitations on ptrace.

So a potential workaround is to temporarily remove this limitation:

sudo sysctl kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=0
reptyr PID_OF_VIM
sudo sysctl kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=1

#reptyr #ptrace #sysctl
