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.
