The Story of CVE-2011-2018 exploitation by Mateusz "j00ru" Jurczyk

The interesting thing about this article is that it's actually a follow-up on a bug j00ru found while coding the engine for our "Pimp My Crackme" competition (winning) entry. Long story short: at one moment the engine (which is heavily based on x86 segmentation and custom LDT segments) started BSoDing the machine; j00ru found a workaround at that time (so that our crackme would not BSoD the machine) and looked at the issue later. The issue turned out to be a very interesting "priv. escal." in the privilege level switching code (if I remember correctly that is), which required a clever chain of steps to actually be exploited.
Well, you can read all about it in the article :)
