Summary

While a LKRG bypass exists specifically due to the nature of Dirty COW being the intended exploit technique, this vulnerability also serves as a foundation for future exploits by directly targeting userspace. The implementation of LKRG version 0.8 demonstrates a significant performance impact across various test configurations on a Xeon E-2176G running Ubuntu 18.04. Geometric mean test results on Phoronix indicate that heavy LKRG profiles experience a 2.5ms latency under the default configuration, whereas the performance for a light profile drops to approximately 2.0ms. Although individual test results vary, the overall metrics highlight the system's responsiveness to these specific exploit strategies.
