Al Viro 330d57fb98 [PATCH] Fix sysctl unregistration oops (CVE-2005-2709)
You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file, then
wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table.  Then fill it with pointers to your
function.  Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky,
you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode.

So this is at least an Oops and possibly more.  It does depend on an
interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would
otherwise be.
