Linux Kernel SO_SNDBUFFORCE Privilege Escalation Exploit

This module exploits a signedness issue in the Linux Kernel. The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 mishandles negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allows local users to escalate privileges. This module performs a CAP_NET_ADMIN to root privilege escalation.
