                              Meko reflects how infrastructure companies are reassessing their role in the agentic AI stack. As agents take on longer-running tasks across multiple systems, the problems companies keep hitting — shared context and coordination — are ones distributed systems engineers would recognise immediately.

                              "Agents are working from inconsistent views of what's true right now," Ranganathan told me. "This is because there is no way to enforce a shared truth." …"

National security – The US has tech powers of sanction which can be used to stop a US company from supplying services.

Economic – The UK government exposes itself to vendor lock-in when contracting for proprietary software, resulting in inflated costs and the extraction of value from the UK economy.

Tech policy capture – Big Tech has used its outsized power and resources to control markets, limit innovation, curb regulation and lobby Government.

                                                                                                                    I've received some questions about my algorithm experiments. First off, I'm building this mainly for myself, since I often don't have time to scroll through posts chronologically and just want the best and most important bits from my social media. It's opt-in and currently only an experiment in my fork.

                                                                                                                    How the "For you" ranked feed on mementomori.social actually works:

                                                                                                                    First, the ground rules. Again, "For you" is opt-in on our instance. If you never touch the toggle, your home feed stays exactly as it is: chronological, complete, and untouched. Nothing below applies to you. We never turn it on without your consent, and every setting is stored and controlled by you.

                                                                                                                    Where the posts come from. The feed ranks the newest ~800 posts and boosts from people you follow. If you also enable "Include posts from people you don't follow," trending posts on the instance get mixed in, roughly one in every four slots, and your scrolling can continue through the trending pool once your own feed runs out.

                                                                                                                    How a post is scored. Every post receives one score made of four parts multiplied together:

                                                                                                                    1. Engagement: boosts count 3x, replies 2x, favourites 1x.

                                                                                                                    For posts from other instances, we use counts from their home instance so federation doesn't undercount them.

                                                                                                                    2. Your affinity to the author: how often you've favourited, boosted, or replied to that person in the last 30 days.

                                                                                                                    It's logarithmic, the 5th interaction matters much more than the 50th, so no one can dominate your feed just because you liked them a lot once.

                                                                                                                    3. Time decay: a post loses half its score every 6 hours. Old posts fade no matter how popular they are.

                                                                                                                    4. A touch of randomness (±10%) so the order isn't fixed.

                                                                                                                    Freshness. Every post shown to you goes to the back of the line for 2 days. That's why refreshing gives you new posts instead of showing the same viral hit again and again, and why "Load more" always digs deeper instead of repeating.

                                                                                                                    Housekeeping rules: boosts show the original post. Your own posts and boosts never appear. Private mentions never appear. Brand-new posts wait 15 minutes before entering so they have a bit of time to gather reactions first.

                                                                                                                    What it does NOT do: There's no tracking beyond one thing: a list of post IDs already shown to you, which auto-deletes after 2 days. No reading your posts, no content analysis, no machine learning, and no profile built about you.

                                                                                                                    The weights above are the entire model, and your instance admin can adjust every number. Hopefully, if this project matures, you'll be able to adjust every weight yourself.

                                                                                                                                        Processing a crafted media file with `ffmpeg` can trigger a segmentation fault in `avpriv_h264_has_num_reorder_frames()`, causing a denial of service.

                                                                                                                                        Summary:
                                                                                                                                        FFmpeg can crash while demuxing a malformed MPEG/MP4 input that causes H.264 data to be handled through a mismatched AAC `AVCodecContext`. In the observed crash path, the demuxing code reaches `has_decode_delay_been_guessed()` and calls `avpriv_h264_has_num_reorder_frames()` with an invalid or uninitialized H.264 parameter-set state. The function then dereferences `ps.sps` without sufficient validation and triggers a `SEGV` read in `libavcodec/h264dec.c:64`.

                                                                                                                                        The issue is reproducible with the provided PoC media file and was observed in both a standard build and an AddressSanitizer build.

                                                                                                                                          Processing a crafted MP4 file containing corrupted Opus sample-size data with `MP4Box` can trigger a heap buffer overflow in `gf_opus_parse_packet_header()`, causing a crash and potential memory corruption impact.

                                                                                                                                          Summary:

When MP4Box processes a crafted MP4 file with corrupted sample-size (`stsz`) data, the parser reads beyond the bounds of a heap-allocated sample buffer.

Because the bug reads beyond a heap allocation, information disclosure may be possible. The local MITRE data also notes potential arbitrary code execution risk, though the observed ASAN trace is an out-of-bounds read.

When MP4Box processes a specially crafted input with invalid AVI frame metadata, such as a `0/256` frame declaration, the DASH processing path attempts to compute bitrate from the bitstream and divides by zero.

The issue is triggered while processing the file through MP4Box DASH segmentation, for example with a `-dash` command using `14_poc.mp4`.
                                                                                                                                            No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious media file, or an automated workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled input.

                                                                                                                                              Processing a crafted MP4 file with invalid BIFS GlobalQuantizer commands causes gf_node_get_tag() to access a freed 192-byte QuantizationParameter node at scenegraph/base_scenegraph.c:1263, resulting in a heap use-after-free and crash.

                                                                                                                                              Summary:
                                                                                                                                              During MPEG-4 BIFS scene decoding, BM_ParseGlobalQuantizer() in bifs/memory_decoder.c first calls gf_node_unregister() at line 176 to release a QuantizationParameter node, freeing the 192-byte heap region. Without clearing the stale pointer, the function then calls gf_node_get_tag() on the same address at line 181, performing a READ of 8 bytes at offset 0 into the freed region. A crafted MP4 containing invalid GlobalQuantizer BIFS commands, corrupted ODF descriptors, and malformed box types (PEC1808, fre) reliably triggers this free-then-use sequence through the -svg dump path.

                                                                                                                                                Processing a crafted MP4 file with malformed VP codec configuration data can trigger a heap buffer overflow in `gf_isom_vp_config_new()`, causing a crash and potential memory corruption.

                                                                                                                                                Summary:
                                                                                                                                                The `gf_isom_vp_config_new()` function in `isomedia/avc_ext.c` does not sufficiently validate buffer boundaries when creating VP codec configuration boxes. A crafted MP4 file with malformed VP codec data, including unknown box types such as `D0ncv` in `stsd`, can cause MP4Box to allocate an undersized box structure and then write VP/NALU configuration data beyond the allocation.

                                                                                                                                                ```
                                                                                                                                                No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious MP4 file, or an automated media workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled input.

Because the vulnerability is an out-of-bounds heap write, memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.

                                                                                                                                                  Processing a crafted MP4 file during DASH segmentation can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in MP4Box TrackWriter handling, causing a Denial of Service.

                                                                                                                                                  Summary:

A crafted MP4 file with malformed metadata boxes can cause the PID-to-track setup to fail, leaving the `TrackWriter` pointer NULL. The muxer then performs member access through the NULL pointer.

                                                                                                                                                  CWE:

                                                                                                                                                      Processing a crafted MP4 file with corrupted Sample Auxiliary Information metadata can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in `gf_isom_copy_sample_info()`, causing a Denial of Service and potential memory corruption impact.

                                                                                                                                                      Summary:

A crafted MP4 file can provide corrupted SAI values, such as an invalid `sai_samples` count, causing memory allocation or merge handling to fail. The import path later attempts to copy sample information from a NULL pointer.

                                                                                                                                                      AddressSanitizer reports a `SEGV` caused by a `READ` memory access at address `0x000000000000`, with the crash occurring at `isomedia/isom_write.c:8164`.

                                                                                                                                                        Processing a crafted MP4 file with corrupted Elementary Stream Descriptor data can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in `gf_media_map_esd()`, causing a Denial of Service.

                                                                                                                                                        Summary:
                                                                                                                                                        The `gf_media_map_esd()` function in `media_tools/isom_tools.c` does not verify that `esd->URLString` is non-NULL before passing it to `strlen()`. When MP4Box processes a crafted MP4 file containing corrupted ESD data during fragmentation setup, `URLString` can be NULL and the process crashes while reading from address `0x000000000000`.

                                                                                                                                                        AddressSanitizer reports a `SEGV` in `strlen()`, with the GPAC call site at `media_tools/isom_tools.c:1359`.

When MP4Box parses a crafted MP4 file through the MPEG-4 LASeR/SVG scene dump path, an SVG node is freed and then dereferenced again.

User interaction is required when a victim manually processes the malicious MP4 file; automated workflows that invoke MP4Box on attacker-controlled media may also trigger the issue.

Because the vulnerability is a heap use-after-free, memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.

The affected scene graph cleanup code should prevent use of freed SVG nodes and ensure node lifetime and registration state are handled consistently during scene reset and deletion.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The `gf_opus_parse_packet_header()` function in `media_tools/av_parsers.c` does not sufficiently validate the input buffer size before reading Opus packet header fields. When MP4Box parses crafted Opus audio packet data, the parser reads one byte beyond the end of a heap-allocated sample buffer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                      AddressSanitizer reports a heap-buffer-overflow at `media_tools/av_parsers.c:11326`, with a `READ of size 1` immediately after a 3-byte heap region allocated by `Media_GetSample()`.

The attack is context-dependent because attacker-controlled media may be processed by MP4Box in automated workflows; manual processing also triggers the issue.

Because the bug reads beyond a heap allocation, adjacent heap memory disclosure may also be possible.

The affected Opus parser should validate the sample buffer length before reading TOC and packet header fields.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The `Track_SetStreamDescriptor()` function in `isomedia/track.c` mishandles sample entry pointers when importing malformed MP4 files containing an unknown `svcC` box inside an `av01` parent box. The unsupported box path can leave the relevant sample entry pointer uninitialized or invalid, and the import/update path later dereferences it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        AddressSanitizer reports a `SEGV` caused by a `READ` memory access at `isomedia/track.c:1677`.

User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious MP4 file, or an automated workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled media.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The `gf_opus_read_length()` function in `media_tools/av_parsers.c` does not sufficiently validate Opus packet sizes before writing packet length information. When MP4Box parses a crafted MP4 file containing malformed non-self-delimited Opus packet data, the parser can write two bytes beyond the bounds of a stack object used by the Opus inspection path.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          AddressSanitizer reports a `stack-buffer-overflow` at `media_tools/av_parsers.c:11140`, with a `WRITE of size 2` overflowing the `pckh` stack object in `gf_inspect_dump_opus_internal()`.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The issue is located in `src/if-options.c` in `parse_option()`. During parsing of malformed or unexpected option data, the lookup/parsing path can leave the local DHCP option pointer unset. The affected code then assumes the option pointer is valid and accesses embedded option metadata through it, which results in a NULL pointer member access at `src/if-options.c:1886`.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Summary:

When MP4Box processes a crafted MP4 file containing an unsupported `vvc16` box inside the `stsd` parent box, the VVC configuration write path can receive a NULL configuration pointer and dereference it.

Open your home column settings and switch on "Ranked order" to try an algorithmic feed: posts ranked by engagement and by who you interact with, fresh content on every refresh, and you'll rarely see the same post twice. Flip on "Include posts from people you don't follow" to discover new accounts beyond your follows. See someone interesting there? Tap the + on their avatar to follow them.
