Abstract

In current extensible monolithic operating systems, loadable kernel modules (LKM) have unrestricted access to all portions of kernel memory and I/O space. As a result, kernel-module exploitation can jeopardize the integrity of the entire system. In this paper, we analyze the threat that comes from t...
