Line 1: Line 1: −
This is the header stored in FCRAM for each FCRAM heap chunk. The kernel maintains this structure.
+
This is the header stored at the beginning of unused blocks of FCRAM memory. The kernel maintains these structures to keep a list of free blocks and their sizes.
   −
An attack like gspwn can be used to overwrite instances of this header in order to exploit the ARM11 kernel on system versions below 9.3 ([[3DS_System_Flaws#Kernel11|memchunkhax]]).
+
By overwriting the pointers in instances of this struct (e.g. using an attack like gspwn) and then (de)allocating memory, one can achieve a controlled ARM11 kernel-mode write on system versions up to 9.2 ([[3DS_System_Flaws#Kernel11|memchunkhax]]).
