Breaking change. Tool name, binary name, function/type names,
constant names, env vars, header guards, file paths, and GitHub
repo URL all rebrand IAMROOT → SKELETONKEY.
Changes:
- All "IAMROOT" → "SKELETONKEY" (constants, env vars, enum
values, docs, comments)
- All "iamroot" → "skeletonkey" (functions, types, paths, CLI)
- iamroot.c → skeletonkey.c
- modules/*/iamroot_modules.{c,h} → modules/*/skeletonkey_modules.{c,h}
- tools/iamroot-fleet-scan.sh → tools/skeletonkey-fleet-scan.sh
- Binary "iamroot" → "skeletonkey"
- GitHub URL KaraZajac/IAMROOT → KaraZajac/SKELETONKEY
- .gitignore now expects build output named "skeletonkey"
- /tmp/iamroot-* tmpfiles → /tmp/skeletonkey-*
- Env vars IAMROOT_MODPROBE_PATH etc. → SKELETONKEY_*
New ASCII skeleton-key banner (horizontal key icon + ANSI Shadow
SKELETONKEY block letters) replaces the IAMROOT banner in
skeletonkey.c and README.md.
VERSION: 0.3.1 → 0.4.0 (breaking).
Build clean on Debian 6.12.86. `skeletonkey --version` → 0.4.0.
All 24 modules still register; no functional code changes — pure
rename + banner refresh.

# NOTICE — stackrot (CVE-2023-3269)
|
|
|
|
## Vulnerability
|
|
|
|
**CVE-2023-3269** — Maple-tree VMA-split UAF (race between mremap and
|
|
fork+fault) → kernel R/W via stale anon_vma_chain reference.
|
|
|
|
## Research credit
|
|
|
|
Discovered and disclosed by **Ruihan Li** (Peking University),
|
|
July 2023.
|
|
|
|
Original advisory: <https://github.com/lrh2000/StackRot>
|
|
Writeup: <https://lkmidas.github.io/posts/20230724-stackrot/>
|
|
|
|
Upstream fix: mainline 6.5-rc1 (commit `0503ea8f5ba73`, July 2023).
|
|
Branch backports: 6.4.4 / 6.3.13 / 6.1.37.
|
|
|
|
## SKELETONKEY role
|
|
|
|
Two-thread race driver (Thread A: mremap rotation on MAP_GROWSDOWN
|
|
anchored VMA; Thread B: fork+fault) with cpu pinning. kmalloc-192
|
|
spray for anon_vma_chain reclaim. Bounded budget: 3 s default,
|
|
30 s with `--full-chain`.
|
|
|
|
**Honest reliability assessment:** ~<1% race-win per run on a
|
|
vulnerable kernel. Ruihan Li's public PoC averages minutes-to-hours
|
|
and needs a much wider VMA-staging matrix to be reliable. The
|
|
shared finisher's 3 s sentinel timeout handles the overwhelmingly
|
|
common no-land outcome gracefully — module returns EXPLOIT_FAIL
|
|
honestly rather than claim root on a race that didn't win.
