The Linux kernel has become widely adopted in the mobile devices and cloud services, parallel to this has grown its abuse and misuse by attackers and malicious users. This has increased attention paid to kernel security through the deployment of kernel protection mechanisms. Kernel based attacks require reliability, kernel attack reliability is achieved through the information gathering stage where the attacker is able to gather enough information about the target to succeed. The taxonomy of kernel vulnerabilities includes information leaks, that are a class of vulnerabilities that permit access to the kernel memory layout and contents. Information leaks can improve the attack reliability allowing the attacker to read sensitive kernel data to bypass kernel based protections.
