Bypassing the Unbypassable: TIKTAG Cracks ARM’s Memory Tagging Defense with 95% Success Rate

ARM’s MTE feature, designed to keep memory mishaps at bay, was outsmarted by savvy researchers with “TIKTAG,” boasting a 95% success rate at memory tag leakage. ARM’s reaction? Less patch, more ‘meh’.

Hot Take:

Looks like ARM's Memory Tagging Extension got a new frenemy called TIKTAG! It's like throwing a surprise party but the guest of honor sneaks a peek into the planning folder. A whopping 95% crash-the-party success rate? That's one heck of a gatecrasher. ARM and Google's response? "Eh, it's not a bug, it's a feature!" Now, let's see if the cybersecurity whiz kids can turn this shindig into a teachable moment for better hardware design.
