Attackers seeking to exploit the security flaw could read the /syscall OS file via Proc, a system used for interfacing between kernel data structures. The /syscall procfs entry could be abused ...

One way the Linux kernel manages memory efficiently and securely is by allocating and de-allocating memory chunks, called "slabs," for different types of data structures. Flaws in this memory ...

The useful, but too often insufficient information available in the output of ps commands was thoroughly upstaged by /proc which acts as an interface to kernel data structures. /proc provides ...

An existing kernel data structure called a scatterlist is employed, which contains a page vector and normally is used for scatter-gather DMA operations. The cryptographic API uses scatterlists to ...

We have seen the basic data structure of multicast routing, so now let's take a look at how they are manipulated by the kernel. All the functions are implemented in one single file, ipmr.c. Keep in ...
