Finding remote zero-day vulnerabilities using o3 in Linux SMB

Viewed 16
The post discusses the author's use of the o3 framework to discover a remote zero-day vulnerability in the Linux SMB (Server Message Block) implementation, specifically a Kerberos authentication issue. The author highlights that o3 successfully detected the vulnerability in 8 out of 100 runs, revealing its potential reliability in locating severe security flaws. The comments raised questions about the practical exploitability of the bug and the effectiveness of other tools like syzkaller in identifying such vulnerabilities. It appears that the author had prior knowledge of the vulnerability, which led them to challenge an intern to see if they could discover it independently within a specific code context.
