This is a great real-world example of how a bug-killing mitigation (blocking null page mapping) keeps users protected. I'm looking forward to Windows 7 going out of support & more users being on platforms that enable this (everything Win8 and above).https://security.googleblog.com/2019/03/disclosing-vulnerabilities-to-protect.html …
You'd think so, yet this exploit really was deployed against 32bit only users (I'm as surprised as you are).

Sure, all I'm saying is substantially more people run 64-bit Windows than 32-bit. Numbers for very old platforms like Windows 7 likely have more 32-bit installs though.

Speaking of, lazy Twitter Q: are macOS null ptr dereferences still exploitable via 32bit processes?

It's not as uncommon as it sounds. I saw a few big organisations (including gov) still running 32-bits Windows (even Windows 10) just to support old internal 16-bit software :)
