/*  Linux Kernel 2.6.32-642 / 3.16.0-4 'inode' Integer Overflow PoC

  The inode is a data structure in a Unix-style file system which describes a filesystem 
  object such as a file or a directory. Each inode stores the attributes and disk block 
  locations of the object's data. Filesystem object attributes may include metadata, as 
  well as owner and permission data.

  INODE can be overflowed by mapping a single file too many times, allowing for a local 
  user to possibly gain root access.
