Linux Kernel 2.6.32-642 / 3.16.0-4 - 'inode' Integer Overflow (PoC)

/* Linux Kernel 2.6.32-642 / 3.16.0-4 'inode' Integer Overflow PoC

The inode is a data structure in a Unix-style file system which describes a filesystem
object such as a file or a directory. Each inode stores the attributes and disk block
locations of the object's data. Filesystem object attributes may include metadata, as
well as owner and permission data.

INODE can be overflowed by mapping a single file too many times, allowing for a local
user to possibly gain root access.
