🚂🚂 Murder on the JNI Express 🚂🚂

Hercule Poirot solved murders.
Droidot solves... memory corruption.

On the Android Express, every app is a suspect and their outdated native C/C++ libraries are hiding skeletons in the .so closet.

We investigated 3,967 of the most popular apps, following every JNI call like a trail of footprints in the snow.

Our case file:
🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♂️ 4,282 crashes
🔓🔓 34 confirmed vulnerabilities
📜📜 3 CVEs

The culprit?
Buggy libraries traveling incognito between apps.

On my way to Seattle for @usenixassociation@infosec.exchange security. Looking forward to catch up with all of you folks to chat about security, systems, fuzzing, mobile systems, and confidential computing.
Also, if you brought your running shoes, let me know!
