On: Linux kernel: CVE-2017-6074: DCCP double-free vulnerability (local root)

Check out amodload; that was what was so interesting about it at the time: it built its own module loader back into a kernel compiled without loadable modules. If course: table stakes for modern rootkits!

Thanks for the replies and pointers, Thomas. You've given me even more to read and learn about.
