Unicode Fix

Prevents path traversal via non-printable Unicode (experimental). Internal to root hiding.

Source

  • Source: Internal to root hiding - patch 6.1- (kernel_patches/common/unicode_bypass_fix_6.1-.patch) · patch 6.1+ (kernel_patches/common/unicode_bypass_fix_6.1+.patch)

Purpose

Certain path traversal attacks and detection-evasion techniques can use non-printable Unicode codepoints. The Unicode Fix patches the kernel to mitigate these vectors.

It is documented as internal to root hiding (SUSFS/KernelSU) - not a standalone top-level feature.

Status

Experimental - use at your own risk.

Build Integration

The Unicode Fix is applied as a patch during the build workflow when use_unicode is enabled. It is enabled by default.
