Unicode Troubles, Bypassing CFG, and Racey Pointer Updates

Day[0]

On the web side, we cover a portswigger post on ways of abusing unicode mishandling to bypass firewalls and a doyensec guide to OAuth vulnerabilities. We also get into a Windows exploit for a use-after-free in the telephony service that bypasses Control Flow Guard, and a data race due to non-atomic writes in the macOS kernel.
