If you liked exploiting use-after-frees, you will love exploiting speculative UaFs! Paper: download.vusec.net/papers/gh…

How do synchronization primitives work during speculative execution? THEY DON'T! Disclosing #GhostRace (paper @USENIXSecurity). We turn all arch. race-free critical regions of OS/Hypervisors into Speculative Race Conditions. Joint work @vu5ec @IBMResearch: vusec.net/projects/ghostrace

What an awesome #NDSSSymposium2024! Over 4000 emails, more than half in the last two weeks. Over 1500 HotCRP comments. Over 600 attendees, 140 paper presentations across three parallel sessions, and two amazing keynotes. 10/10, amazing experience, would do again (after a break)!

JSys now has a system security track! We combine conference-inspired reviewing (short turn around, positive reviewing, one-shot revisions) with an open-access journal model. First submission deadline for the security track is May 22! jsys.org/cfp_security/ Go submit & please RT

Thrilled to announce that @jsysresearch will feature two new areas from the next deadline (May 22) onwards! First, @gannimo has agreed to serve as Area Chair for a new Systems Security area! This is one of the areas requested most by authors. jsys.org/cfp_security/
