Time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in file deletion logic, allowing symlink-based allow-list bypass.
Secure file system operations; preventing unauthorized file deletion; robust symlink handling.
This issue details a critical Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability within PureMac's `CleaningEngine.cleanItems`. The system resolves symlinks for allow-list validation but then operates on the original, unresolved path for deletion. This creates a race condition where an attacker c...

Enhancing Tailslayer with hardware quantum random number generation (QRNG) for DRAM channel offset selection to improve security and unpredictability.
Post-quantum security, CPU-level randomness, root of trust, advanced latency reduction.
This issue proposes a significant architectural enhancement for Tailslayer: integrating hardware quantum random number generators (QRNGs) to select DRAM channels. The core insight is that predictable DRAM channel placement weakens higher-level security layers, making the 'internet-connected stack...
