flow_divert-heap-overflow

flow_divert-heap-overflow is a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2016-1827, which was patched in OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 and iOS 9.3.2.

The vulnerability is a series of unchecked arithmetic operations on an untrusted length supplied from user space in the function flow_divert_handle_app_map_create. Exploitation requires root privileges.

This proof-of-concept triggers a kernel panic OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. In El Capitan the length fields were changed from 64 bits to 32 bits, so the message structure will need to be updated accordingly. This exploit has not been tested on iOS.
