AI agents keep memory across sessions. Conversation history, vector stores, scratchpads, and RAG indexes persist between runs, and anything written into that store becomes a privileged input the agent reads back later. An attacker who plants text in the wrong field can override an agent’s instructions, pull out user data, or steer future tool calls,…

AI Memory Shortage Disrupts MSP Pricing and Channel Deals
The global memory shortage is no longer just about finding chips; it’s about finding partners you can trust. What began as a straightforward supply-and-demand crunch has morphed into something messier for managed service providers and IT resellers. Vendors are rewriting the rules of engagement mid-game, eliminating long-standing partner protections and reserving the right to change…

GPUBreach exploit uses GPU memory bit-flips to achieve full system takeover
GPUBreach attack technique uses GPU memory bit-flips to escalate privileges and potentially take full control of a system. New research shows that attacks like GPUBreach exploit RowHammer bit-flips in GPU memory (GDDR6) to go beyond data corruption. Attackers can use this technique to escalate privileges and, in some cases, gain full control of the system.…

mquire: Open-source Linux memory forensics tool
Linux memory forensics has long depended on debug symbols tied to specific kernel versions. These symbols are not installed on production systems by default, and sourcing them from external repositories creates a recurring problem: repositories go stale, kernel builds diverge, and analysts working incident response often find no published symbols for the exact kernel they…
