The msg subsystem is a common target for exploiting[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] use-after-free type confusion flaws in the kernel for both read and write primitives. Avoid having a user-controlled dynamically-size allocation share the global kmalloc cache by using a separate set of kmalloc buckets via the kmem_buckets API.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
