A group of researchers from the Systems and Network Security Group at VU Amsterdam have discovered a way to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR) protections of major operating systems and browsers by exploiting a common feature of computer microprocessors.
By combining simple JavaScript code to target this feature with exploit code for browser or OS vulnerabilities, they were able to compromise vulnerable systems.
