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.
