twitter.com/DanielMicay/st It's worth noting that CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled in GrapheneOS with panic on data corruption, which according to bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero breaks the exploit primitive. However, this is just one vulnerability, and many won't be mitigated like that.

Unfortunately, due to lack of resources and support, it hasn't yet been possible to start doing this for the ongoing revival of the project. In the past, I used to do it myself, but don't have the time and energy available anymore and people aren't stepping up to fill that gap.

There has also been a comparable lack of support for restoring the past kernel security hardening and advancing it. Too many individuals, companies and other organizations sit back expecting someone else to do the work and provide the resources. Inaction is why things are so bad.

Binder is in the upstream kernel and is used outside of Android too. It's used to implement userspace mobile device drivers which are used elsewhere. It's the communication mechanism between the sandboxes. Other OSes reuse those drivers even if they use dbus, etc. elsewhere.
