- * Proof-of-concept exploit for the Dirty Pipe
- * vulnerability (CVE-2022-0847) caused by an uninitialized
- * "pipe_buffer.flags" variable. It demonstrates how to overwrite any
- * file contents in the page cache, even if the file is not permitted
- * to be written, immutable or on a read-only mount.
- *
- * This exploit requires Linux 5.8 or later; the code path was made
- * reachable by commit f6dd975583bd ("pipe: merge
- * anon_pipe_buf*_ops"). The commit did not introduce the bug, it was
- * there before, it just provided an easy way to exploit it.
- *
- * There are two major limitations of this exploit: the offset cannot
- * be on a page boundary (it needs to write one byte before the offset
- * to add a reference to this page to the pipe), and the write cannot
- * cross a page boundary.
- *
- * Example: ./write_anything /root/.ssh/authorized_keys 1 $'\nssh-ed25519 AAA......\n'
- *
