A collection of proof-of-concept exploits for Linux kernel vulnerabilities written in C, covering CVEs from 2016 to 2025. Each exploit demonstrates a specific vulnerability class such as double-frees, signedness issues, integer underflows, and KASLR bypass side channels.

Use cases

• study real-world linux kernel exploit techniques
• learn how privilege escalation exploits work
• find proof-of-concept code for a specific CVE
• research kernel vulnerability classes like double-free and info-leak
• test kernel hardening against known exploits
• learn KASLR bypass methods

When to choose

• you are a security researcher studying kernel exploitation
• you need reference PoC code for a listed CVE
• you are learning low-level Linux kernel internals and memory corruption bugs

When to avoid

• you need a licensed, production-ready security tool
• you want a general-purpose penetration testing framework
• you need supported, maintained exploit tooling for operations
