** Description changed:

- Placeholder
+ 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.
