Kernel Exploit Gets All the Data

MSG__MSG KERNEL EXPLOIT MSGQ IPC

A cartoon shows a large figure labeled “KERNEL EXPLOIT” receiving a stream from “MSG__MSG,” while a tiny figure labeled “MSGQ IPC” struggles to catch a few drops. The joke compares an exploit leaking or consuming a large amount of inter-process communication data with the ordinary IPC mechanism getting almost nothing, making it a reaction to kernel-level security bugs and resource theft.
