# Exploit Title: Linux kernel <= 4.6.2 - Local Privileges Escalation via IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE compat setsockopt call
# Date: 2016.10.8
# Exploit Author: Qian Zhang@MarvelTeam Qihoo 360
# Version: Linux kernel <= 4.6.2
# Tested on: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Linux 4.4.0-21-generic

#DESCRIPTION
#===========
#The IPv6 netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.6.2 does not validate certain offset fields,
#which allows local users to escalade privileges via an IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE compat setsockopt call with ip6_tables module loaded.
