        A heap overflow in IOHIKeyboardMapper::parseKeyMapping allows kernel memory
        corruption in Mac OS X before 10.10. By abusing a bug in the IORegistry, kernel
        pointers can also be leaked, allowing a full kASLR bypass.

        Tested on Mavericks 10.9.5, and should work on previous versions.

        The issue has been patched silently in Yosemite.
