  • Abstract
    The kernel is a fundamental piece of the operating system that provides and mediates access to a computer system´s resources. Naturally, such a critical component plays a key role in providing users with a secure environment and should be subject to security practitioners´ scrutiny. The author focuses on kernel security issues, recent vulnerabilities, and the emergence of publicly available exploit code for them.
