**
** 0x82-CVE-2009-2692
** Linux kernel 2.4/2.6 (32bit) sock_sendpage() local ring0 root exploit (simple ver)
** Tested RedHat Linux 9.0, Fedora core 4~11, Whitebox 4, CentOS 4.x.

** --
** Discovered by Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the Google Security Team.
** spender and venglin's code is very excellent.
** Thankful to them.
