National Instruments kernel driver allows arbitrary physical memory access

An EV-signed NI kernel driver used across defense contractors, fabs, NASA test stands, and labs reportedly allows unauthenticated physical memory read and write

Gained two CVEs this week. National Instruments ships on every defense contractor, chip fab, NASA test stand, and national lab in the country. their core kernel driver nipalk.sys is EV signed and valid through 2027. arbitrary physical memor
