The DER Sequence Problem in G-Verify

We've got a pretty nice root/super-use check bypass in XNU this week, and a sort of double fetch issue in Intel's SMM leading to a potential privilege escalation into the Management system. We've also got a few meme-able Shannon Baseband issues and some tough to exploit out of bound reads in MIT Kerberos V5.
