exploiting overflowed kmalloc() memory?

has anyone done any research on exploiting overflows with memory returned by kmalloc()?  after briefly looking at 
source, i see that internally it relies on the kmem_cache_alloc() functions.  i didn't see any sort of coalescing as 
with dlmalloc, so maybe it's not even possible?  anyone have any links/info about this?
