ABSTRACT The development of a deliberately prone Linux kernel module pursuits to offer a controlled surroundings for reading and addressing protection vulnerabilities in kernel-degree programming. This task specializes in deliberately introducing vulnerabilities which includes buffer overflows, stack overflows, and race situations right into a Linux kernel module to simulate actual-global protection weaknesses. The objective is to take advantage of those vulnerabilities the usage of numerous equipment and strategies, understand their effect, and suggest effective mitigation techniques. Through this challenge, we explore the lifecycle of vulnerabilities—from their creation and exploitation to the development of protection patches. The studies additionally entails the use of virtualization environments like QEMU for secure and remoted testing. By addressing these vulnerabilities, the project contributes to the broader subject of cybersecurity by means of equipping builders and researchers with the expertise required to design relaxed structures and respond to rising threats efficiently. This realistic method bridges the space between theoretical understanding and real-world implementation, providing a precious contribution to the domain of operating device protection
