Quick video of an exploit I wrote for the move_pages() infoleak just submitted to oss-sec (though I had noticed the commit earlier today with SuSE security on CC 
). The analysis and exploit development were all completed within an hour. I can leak 512MB of kernel memory around a specific bitmap in the kernel. I demonstrate the leaking of the contents of two sysctl variables in the exploit, as well as the NUMA bitmap.
Source code will be released shortly — it’s a neat little bug, and I like the idea of deducing kernel memory one bit at a time via the return value of the system call
PS: SELinux did nothing to prevent this exploit

In this video, i talk about the Unix OS/Linux Kernel, what it is, how to obtain it, and using Linux Mint in general. I also show the general applications that come with Linux Mint and Linux in general. Please watch Part 2 after you watch this. Also, please rate, comment, and subscribe. Thanks to all who watch! 
From http://ols.108.redhat.com/2007/GCC-Reprints/GCC2007-Proceedings.pdf . and more speci?cally across iterations of a loop, classic vectorization techniques have traditionally focused on exploiting exactly that kind of parallelism ([4], [24]). This is also the kind of parallelism that G.C.C vectorizer has been originally designed to target ([13], [15]). However, there are many kinds of important computations that cannot be vectorized if considering only the context of the loop. Figure 1a shows, for example, an unrolled loop, hand-optimized for a sequential machine, which is typical for multimedia kernels [9]. Other possible examples include structure accesses, such as R.G.B.A in image

Exploits the recent udp_sendmsg() bug found by Julien Tinnes/Tavis Ormandy. Does not require an executable NULL mapping and is 100% stealthy. The vulnerability is interesting, as the path to userland code execution is about 4 functions deep and hidden by a netfilter macro. By forging the dereferenced structure correctly, I’m able to avoid an alerting printk. The exploit is demonstrated on Fedora Core 5 and RHEL 5.3.

This is a comprehensive guide to building and installing “generic” UNIX software distributions under Linux build proceeds without any fatal errors. The xloadimage package functions correctly now. 11. Third Example: Fortune This example requires some knowledge of C programming. The majority of UNIX/Linux software is written in C, and learning at least a little bit of C would certainly be an asset for anyone serious about software installation. The notorious fortune program displays up a humorous saying, a “fortune cookie”, every time Linux boots up. Unfortunately (pun intended), attempting to build fortune on a Red Hat distribution with a 2.0.30 kernel generates fatal errors. ~/fortune# make all gcc -O2 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer
