0x82-CVE-2009-2692

This exploit is a local ring0 root exploit for Linux kernel 2.4/2.6 (32bit) sock_sendpage(). It has been tested on RedHat Linux 9.0, Fedora core 4~11, Whitebox 4, and CentOS 4.x. The exploit is slow and dirty and was discovered by Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the Google Security Team. It was written by p0c73n1 and is based on the code of spender and venglin.

Mitigation:

The user should update their Linux kernel to the latest version.
