/* Linux Kernel 2.6.32-642 / 3.16.0-4 'inode' Integer Overflow PoC The inode is a data structure in a Unix-style file system which describes a filesystem object such as a file or a directory. Each inode stores the attributes and disk block locations of the object's data. Filesystem object attributes may include metadata, as well as owner and permission data. INODE can be overflowed by mapping a single file too many times, allowing for a local user to possibly gain root access. Disclaimer: This or previous program is for Educational purpose ONLY.
