This project is a proof of concept implementation for CVE-2026-31431, serving as a local privilege escalation tool for the Linux kernel. It functions as an exploit that allows a standard user account to obtain root permissions. The tool demonstrates a kernel page cache attack, where root access is achieved by writing shellcode into the cached pages of a privileged binary. This process manipulates how the Linux kernel handles page caches to execute code with elevated permissions. The repository covers areas of Linux security research, including kernel memory corruption analysis and local priv
