   Whats the actual cause of the kernel panic? (besides just "a buggy driver")

     @neko You've misread it, it's a kernel picnic, and Yogi Bear was there to steal everyone's lunch

     @neko Pretty much ClownStrike doesn't do any testing on their patches and send out a dodgy "threat signature" file to almost all of the windows computers that are part of their botnet.
     
     They have a windows kernel module written in sepples, which parses "threat signature" files with a ".sys" extension and applies them and someone went and tested in production by pushing one or more corrupted "threat signature" file(s), which caused the parser to de-reference a null-pointer and caused the NT kernel to crash.
     
     I do wonder if de-referencing a NULL pointer in a Linux module will cause it to crash - I guess I better try it out.
