memory access
About this tag
Discussions tagged with 'memory access' on WindowsForum.com cover security vulnerabilities and system-level memory issues in Windows. Topics include bypassing KASLR protections via drivers with physical memory access, out-of-bounds memory access in Chromium affecting Microsoft Edge, monitoring disk cache page accesses to assess SSD degradation, and historical vulnerabilities like the Windows 7 Meltdown patch that allowed arbitrary memory read/write. Additional threads address speculative execution side-channel attacks in browsers, debugging memory access problems with WinDbg, and Windows 10 Virtual Secure Mode's protection against illegal memory access from devices and drivers.
A recent security analysis has unveiled a method to bypass Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR) protections in Windows 11 24H2 by exploiting an HVCI-compatible driver with physical memory access capabilities. This research, published by security expert Yazid on June 9, 2025...
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, vulnerabilities continuously emerge, posing threats to both users and systems. Recently, a critical flaw denoted as CVE-2024-7532 has been identified in Chromium's architecture. Specifically, this vulnerability concerns an out-of-bounds memory...
Anyone know of any tools or Windows API that can monitor disk cache page accesses?
For example, if a cache page is loaded from/to memory, I would like to count the size and times. This is to determine possible SSD degradation with too many accesses from page caches.
Thanks
Total Meltdown?
Is my system vulnerable?
Only Windows 7 x64 systems patched with the 2018-01 or 2018-02 patches are vulnerable. If your system isn't patched since December 2017 or if it's patched with the 2018-03 2018-03-29 patches or later it will be secure.

Today, Google Project Zero published details of a class of vulnerabilities which can be exploited by speculative execution side-channel attacks. These techniques can be used via JavaScript code running in the browser, which may allow attackers to gain access to memory in the attacker’s process...

So I'm an avid Windows Debugger user, I'm on build 1151 (Version 10.0.10586, or as winver.exe likes to say 10586.14)
I downloaded the Win 64 symbols from Microsoft, and set my _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable to
the normal shtick "SRV*H:\Symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols"...
In this video I spent some time with David Hepkin, a member of the Windows engineering team working on Hyper-V, to get a better understanding of the Windows 10 Virtual Secure Mode. I've had the good fortune of learning a lot about Isolated User Mode with several folks in the kernel team. In this...
