/* Linux <= 2.6.37-rc1 serial_core TIOCGICOUNT leak
* ================================================
* Information leak exploit for CVE-2010-4077 which
* leaks kernel stack space back to userland due to
* uninitialized struct member "reserved" in struct
* serial_icounter_struct copied to userland. uses
* ioctl to trigger memory leak, dumps to file and
* displays to command line.
