Testing this on various boxen I have immediate access to with kernel versions from 3.2, 3.5, 3.7 and 3.8, I get mixed results. On half of them it triggers a kernel bug, but gets killed before it can return a root shell, on the others it aborts without triggering a kernel bug. Either I'm rather lucky or this exploit is fragile. Perhaps both.
