Registration Weakness in Linux Kernel's Binary formats

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:

regards,
