Kernel Pool overflow vulnerabilities are frequently discovered, like heap overflows in userland. However, there are just a few presentations, that describe explotation techniques. There is no public exploit, that exploits kernel pool overflow at all. There will be talk about "generic" explotation techniques, and also will be shown different kinds of vulnerabilities, where custom techniques should be applied. Also there will be technical description of kernel pool overflow mitigations, that introduce in modern version of Windows OS.
