* Ubuntu 16.04 local root exploit - netfilter target_offset OOB
* check_compat_entry_size_and_hooks/check_entry
*
* Tested on 4.4.0-21-generic. SMEP/SMAP bypass available in descr_v2.c
*
* Vitaly Nikolenko
* vnik@cyseclabs.com
* 23/04/2016
*
*
* ip_tables.ko needs to be loaded (e.g., iptables -L as root triggers
* automatic loading).

* [!] Decrementing the refcount. This may take a while...
* [!] Wait for the "Done" message (even if you'll get the prompt back).
