21
          This module exploits a vulnerability in the FreeBSD kernel,
22
          when running on 64-bit Intel processors.
23

24
          By design, 64-bit processors following the X86-64 specification will
25
          trigger a general protection fault (GPF) when executing a SYSRET
26
          instruction with a non-canonical address in the RCX register.
27

28
          However, Intel processors check for a non-canonical address prior to
29
          dropping privileges, causing a GPF in privileged mode. As a result,
30
          the current userland RSP stack pointer is restored and executed,
31
          resulting in privileged code execution.

          This module has been tested successfully on:

          FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE (amd64); and
