Abstract
A system, method, and computer-accessible medium for modifying user memory from an arbitrary kernel state are disclosed. The kernel may generate a modification to the context of the process. Subsequently, the kernel may pass control to the process in user mode, and further, the process may pass control from the user mode to the kernel in response to the modification of the context of the process. The kernel may then modify the process memory from kernel mode.
