/*
* Advanced Linux Kernel kcm_sendmsg UAF Exploit PoC
*
* Description:
* This PoC exploits a UAF vulnerability in the kcm_sendmsg function by creating
* a sophisticated race condition between multiple threads. The scenario simulates
* concurrent access and resource manipulation, triggering the UAF with higher
* reliability.
*
* Note: This PoC is intended for research and educational purposes only.
* Unauthorized use is illegal and unethical.
