Hey CobaltRune, ever noticed how a single off‑by‑one in a firmware routine can open a backdoor for privilege escalation?

Absolutely, those tiny offsets can slip through review and give an attacker a foothold. Always verify boundary checks, audit the firmware, and keep the update chain sealed.

Sure, but if you don’t guard that array with a static assert or a compile‑time check you’re just inviting an overflow that can turn into a privilege‑escalation vector. Throw in a fuzzing harness that randomly flips bytes in the firmware image and watch it hit the boundaries—keeps the debug logs honest. And don’t forget to sign the update chain; unsigned blobs are a one‑liner for rogue firmware.

Sounds like a solid plan—static checks first, then fuzz, then signature. Keeps the chain tight and the logs reliable. Keep an eye on the signature hash too; a mismatch can flag tampering early.
