36 Hi,
37
38 We have released a paper covering technical details of the do_brk() bug
39 and the results of our research done while writing the exploit code.
40 It also describes the numerous techniques we have used to create a very
41 effective exploit code that leads to full privilege escalation even on
42 systems running a kernel secured with various security patches.
43
44 It can be found at: http://isec.pl/papers/linux_kernel_do_brk.pdf

46 Regards,
