kernel heap exploitation
Kernel heap exploitation refers to exploiting vulnerabilities in the memory allocation mechanism used by the kernel to allocate and manage memory for kernel-level data structures. It involves taking advantage of flaws in this memory management system to gain unauthorized access, execute arbitrary code, or manipulate sensitive kernel data.
