ipc security
About this tag
The ipc security tag on WindowsForum.com covers vulnerabilities and hardening topics related to inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms in operating systems and applications. Recent discussions include a Linux kernel patch for CVE-2024-26811, which fixed an IPC payload validation flaw in the ksmbd SMB server that could lead to memory corruption. Another thread covers CVE-2025-10201, a Mojo IPC vulnerability in Chrome that bypassed site-isolation protections on Android, Linux, and ChromeOS, with fixes in Chrome 140+. These threads highlight how IPC security flaws can enable privilege escalation, memory corruption, or security boundary bypasses, and emphasize the importance of patching and input validation in IPC implementations.
The Linux kernel received a defensive patch in April 2024 closing a dangerous input‑validation gap in the in‑kernel SMB server (ksmbd) that let a malicious userspace component return malformed IPC replies, potentially causing kernel memory corruption and service‑stopping crashes.
