A curated collection of Linux kernel CVE exploits paired with preconfigured QEMU debug environments and analysis writeups. It lets researchers boot vulnerable kernels and test privilege-escalation exploits without compiling the kernel themselves.

Use cases

• reproduce linux kernel cve exploits in qemu
• learn kernel privilege escalation techniques
• set up a kernel exploit debugging environment without compiling the kernel
• study writeups for kernel vulnerabilities like dirty pipe or cve-2021-22555
• practice kernel exploitation for ctf or security research

When to choose

• you want ready-to-run vulnerable kernel environments for studying known CVEs
• you are learning Linux kernel exploitation and want analyzed examples with writeups

When to avoid

• you need exploits for unpatched or zero-day vulnerabilities
• you require a production security tool rather than an educational dataset
• you need a licensed or formally maintained project (it has no license file)
