Just mentioning that the hotfix mentioned here:
http://www.ping.uio.no/~mortehu/disable-vmsplice-if-exploitable.c
appeared to have wedged (crashed hard, frozen) my machine, an otherwise
very stable pentium 4 machine running 2.6.18-5-686 (with nvidia
oldstable xorg proprietry drivers). noth
Hi,
a modification of the exploit that finds the address of sys_vmsplice in the
kernel (using /proc/kallsyms) and replaces the first byte with a RET instruction
(using mmap of /dev/kmem) is available at
