A Hidden Weakness May 29, 2025 Categories: mozilla This is the story of a bug hunt that lasted much longer than expected, but ended with the dearest of all treasures: knowledge. Let's draw some context: the Android platform defines different API levels. Unsurprisingly, some symbols are only defined starting with a given API version. For instance, ASystemFontIterator_open is only available starting at API 29. Unconditionally trying to use ASystemFontIterator_open while targeting an API older

As longtime readers of this blog have probably noticed, I like to poke around in Unicode occasionally. It’s an endless system of rabbit holes to explore. This morning I was looking at the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols block. These are mostly obscure symbols, though I’m sure for each symbol that I think is obscure, there is someone out there who uses it routinely. Perpendicular The only common symbol in this block is ⟂ (U+27C2) for perpendicular. Even so, this symbol is a variation on ⊥ (

Familiar to anyone who pays attention to vintage aesthetics, I’m embarrassed to say it’s taken me 40 years to learn the name of the beloved typographic symbol that been guiding the way for centuries.

Proactively and defensively ensuring the absence of vulnerabilities in binary code is crucial for deploying high-assurance systems. GREASE is an open-source tool leveraging under-constrained symbolic execution to help software reverse engineers analyze binaries and uncover hard-to-spot bugs, ultimately enhancing system security. This kind of binary analysis is especially important for systems that include COTS software that is only provided in binary form. GREASE can be used as a plug-in for
