The author discusses the challenge of creating a stable authenticated 0-click exploit for the Linux Kernel SMB3 Daemon (ksmbd), using real-world CVEs to demonstrate the process. They detail the selection of specific vulnerabilities, including a controlled SLUB overflow and an authenticated remote leak, to build an effective exploit chain. The article emphasizes the abundance of vulnerabilities in ksmbd and the importance of vulnerability research in developing exploits.
