| Originally the service-manager didn't restrict the number of sessions for "srv:pm". The processIDs used for the (un)registration commands are not checked either. This allowed any process to re-register itself with "srv:pm", which therefore allowed the process to give itself access to any service, bypassing the exheader service-access-control list. This was fixed in [[7.0.0-13]]: starting with [[7.0.0-13]] the service-manager will execute [[SVC|svcBreak]] when another session for "srv:pm" is attempting to be opened after the [[Process_Manager_Services|initial]] session. This flaw was needed for exploiting the <=v4.x Process9 PXI vulnerabilities from ARM11 userland ROP, since most applications don't have access to those service(s).

This was fixed in [[7.0.0-13]]: starting with [[7.0.0-13]] "srv:pm" is now a service instead of a globally accessible port. Only processes with PID's less than 5 (in other words: fs, ldr, sm, pm, pxi modules) have access to it.
