CVE-2017-1000405

This exploit leverages a race condition in the Linux kernel (CVE-2017-1000405) to achieve local privilege escalation by writing to read-only memory mappings via /proc/self/mem. It uses multithreading to force a write to a memory page that should be protected, demonstrating the vulnerability.

This exploit leverages a race condition in the Linux kernel's handling of transparent huge pages (CVE-2017-1000405) to overwrite the zero page, potentially leading to privilege escalation. It uses multithreading to force a dirty PMD state and achieve arbitrary write access.

This repository contains a functional proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2017-1000405, leveraging a race condition in the Linux kernel's handling of transparent huge pages to achieve local privilege escalation. The exploit uses multithreading to overwrite the system's huge zero page, demonstrating the vulnerability.
