Hole in Linux kernel provides root rights

That's what I do, I run it through cpp first and read the code from where the include files end, just to make sure someone isn't social engineering me into doing something stupid.

Now of course you have to assume I'm telling you the truth, but that's easy enough to verify.

Paranoia has no limits ;)

See what happens with the "fremote(jmpcode)" function in 'main()'.
