Hi,
I can't say if the vulnerability is real,
but I do know pdfs are _unsafe_ those days...

Subject: Registration Weakness in Linux Kernel's Binary formats To:
undisclosed-recipients


Hello, The present document aims to demonstrate a design weakness
found in the handling of simply linked lists used to
register binary formats handled by Linux kernel, and
affects all the kernel families (2.0/2.2/2.4/2.6), allowing
the insertion of infection modules in kernel­ space that can be
used by malicious users to create infection tools, for example
rootkits.

POC, details and proposed solution at: English version:
