Description
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux Kernel's watch_queue event notification system. It relies on a heap out-of-bounds write in kernel memory. The exploit may fail on the first attempt so multiple attempts may be needed. Note that the exploit can potentially cause a denial of service if multiple failed attemps occur, however this is unlikely.
