*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Memory write via arbitrary heap array index. This is the most serious,
IMO, as it allows (on 32-bit) access to the entire memory range (the
index is unsigned 32 bit). This is mitigated slightly by the fact that
the starting address is at an "unknown" location on the heap, and that
the value written is an "arbitrary" kernel pointer. Still, this could
almost certainly be turned into full kernel execution given enough
study.
