# Proof of Concept Exploit Code for CVE-2022-23222
This is a POC for CVE 2022-23222, a Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability.
This POC was written for Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel version 5.13.0-27-generic, but other kernel versions are also vulnerable.
For a detailed analysis of the exploit, please read our [write-up](https://www.pentera.io/blog/the-good-bad-and-compromisable-aspects-of-linux-ebpf/).
## Usage

To compile the POC, run the following command:
```
make
```
To execute the expolit, run the following executable:
```
