Linux sock_sendpage() NULL pointer dereference exploit
This is the second version of Linux sock_sendpage() NULL pointer dereference exploit. Now, it also works with Linux kernel versions which implements COW credentials (e.g. Fedora 11). For SELinux enforced systems, it automatically searches in the SELinux policy rules for types with mmap_zero permission it can transition, and tries to exploit the system with that types.
Mitigation:
Ensure that all pointers are properly initialized and validated before use.
