Ghosts in the Machine Check: Conjuring Hardware Failures for Privilege Escalation
We’ve all seen it. The sudden freeze. The blue screen of death. The catastrophic system halt. Usually, when a processor encounters a truly unrecoverable hardware error—a bit flip in the L2 cache, a voltage sag, or a literal "CPU on fire" scenario—it triggers whats called a Machine Check Exception (MCE) . The hardware realizes the world no longer makes sense, throws its hands up, and shuts everything down before data corruption can spread. It’s the ultimate fail-safe. But as s
