Re: [Cerowrt-devel] linus vs wireguard

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

Dear David:

I would dearly like to find some folk to redteam wireguard before it
hits the kernel. Know anyone?

In particular I wonder how the container-space can be attacked. (

And I think I am the first person to write an automated system kernel exploit generation tool at about that time, working on the Multics Security Kernel project. The explotss generated searched for cases where the kernel entry points were sensitive to concurrent changes in other processors, just like Spectre and Meltdown exploit concurrent microarchitecture stuff.
