Introduction

This paper was published in CCS 2015. With the introduction of the various mitigation deployed in the user space, especially sandbox, the vulnerability in the linux kernel has become a target of the attacker. However, the memory space in the kernel is hard to predict since the kernel space are used by various tasks. In this paper, the author introduces a much stabler way to put desired vulnerable target into kernel memory space by exploiting a use-after-free in linux kernel.
