the patch for 2.6.24.2 that I used didn't update the version number, it just stayed at 2.6.24.1 and i had to try re-patching a second time to get it to work, anyway my kernel reports 2.6.24.1 and after patching and re-trying another compile - 2nd time, I re-tried the exploit and it doesn't work no more. :) that means that the patch took.. nowshining@botnetgodalphamale:~/Desktop$ uname -r 2.6.24.1-botnetgodalphamale nowshining@botnetgodalphamale:~/Desktop$ ./exploit ----------------------------------- Linux vmsplice Local Root Exploit By qaaz ----------------------------------- [+] mmap: 0x0 .. 0x1000 [+] page: 0x0 [+] page: 0x20 [+] mmap: 0x4000 .. 0x5000 [+] page: 0x4000 [+] page: 0x4020 [+] mmap: 0x1000 .. 0x2000 [+] page: 0x1000 [+] mmap: 0xb7fb0000 .. 0xb7fe2000 [-] vmsplice: Bad address nowshining@botnetgodalphamale:~/Desktop$ however the only problem I had was when compiling the kernel and I just re-tried (the exploit) for fun and it pretty much made the system a pain to reboot, and i could NOT start or stop any processes, so in the end I had to hard reboot, altho when i did try the exploit, programs did open up, somewhat and operate fine but the compile stopped and cpu went to 0%, it was actually only trying to exit the terminal that it became blank, and a new shell/terminal wouldn't load properly, etc.. oh well :) > by the way I stayed up all night so my brain is a bit slow right now. ^_^, also that was the first time I patched a kernel & compiled it successfully.
