    It's that time of the year again: Acceptance/rejection letters for Laphroaig's prestigious educational institution are out in issue 0x18 of the International Journal of Proof of Concept or GTFO. Did you make the cut or have your hopes been SHAttered?

    Just spent the past few hours debugging the following statement in Rust: let page = KERNEL_BASE + page_no << PAGE_SHIFT; This apparently got bracketed as: let page = (KERNEL_BASE + page_no) << PAGE_SHIFT; where as in C: uintptr_t page = KERNEL_BASE + (page_no << PAGE_SHIFT);

    We are open-sourcing BOLT, a binary optimization and layout tool. BOLT optimizes placement of instructions in memory, thereby reducing CPU execution time by as much as 15%.

    The impact of this bug is disclosure of the contents of FPU/MMX/SSE/AVX registers. This is very bad because AES encryption keys almost always end up in SSE registers.
