The upstream scoreboard did not say, so neither do we.

Binary exploitation2

Turn a memory-safety bug in a native binary into control of execution. Usually a stack overflow, a format string, or a heap primitive.

Reverse engineering1

Work out what a compiled program does without its source, then work backwards from the check to the input that passes it.
