#+TITLE: A Decade of Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities, their Mitigation and Open Problems

This repository contains source for my Master's Thesis on different types of

Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities that exist today. It consists of a survey of ~10

years of Linux Kernel CVEs (2007-2016), divides them into various broad

categories of Vulnerabilities and includes existing mitigation for them.

While the mitigation aren't exhaustive, they are sampled from both Research

Literature and industry i.e. existing code in Linux Kernel, out-of-tree patches

etc. It also includes various tools that can be used to analyze and detect

various kind of Vulnerabilities.

* How to read this content?

The entire thesis is divided into 5 chapters, first 3 of which are related to

Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities. 4th chapter talks about Return Oriented

Programming attacks. 5th Chapter concludes with what classes of vulnerabilities

do and don't have any pro-active solution for them.

You can browse [[thesis.org][a copy in the repository]] or have a look at the [[thesis.pdf][PDF]]. PDF has

slightly better formatting and comes with complete references.
