Solaris vfs_getvfssw() Loadable Kernel Module Traversal Vulnerability

Conclusion

In this chapter, we introduced methods with which to discover new vulnerabilities in two operating systems, OpenBSD and Solaris. Understanding kernel vulnerabilities is difficult; therefore, we have saved the actual exploitation for the next chapter. Move on only when you have a complete understanding of the concepts and vulnerabilities described in this chapter.

We hope you develop a feeling for certain types of kernel-level vulnerabilities by reading this chapter. We will now leave the exploit construction of the Solaris and OpenBSD vulnerabilities to Chapter 24. Turn the page for some more serious fun!
