antipatterns.ko: the world's worst kernel module

:caution: DO NOT LOAD THIS MODULE

This kernel module contains numerous security vulnerabilities.

It is intended purely as a testbed for vulnerability detection tools.

The idea is to provide a collection of kernel code that looks plausible, but actually contains vulnerabilities.

Caveat: this is my first ever kernel module, so I may have committed more mistakes than I intended.

This code is intended to permanently stay out of the main kernel tree, so that if anyone does insmod it, the "taint" flag will be set.
