Could you build this?

No Building a working race trigger and heap-reuse oracle for a Linux kernel use-after-free requires deep kernel and exploit-development expertise that vibe coding cannot supply.

What it would actually take: A real version means writing kernel-level exploit code that wins a timing race and reliably reclaims freed slab objects, with testing on specific kernel builds. The work needs kernel internals knowledge, a lab with reproducible kernel configurations, and security research experience. The detection and mitigation tooling is more accessible, but the core is specialized.
