Does anyone know whether the following can be trusted?

[Omer Zak]

There is an exploit of 64-bit Linux kernel, which leaves behind a
backdoor usable even after the kernel has been patched.

To check whether your PC is infected, the diagnose-2010-3081 tool can be
used (see https://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/cve-2010-3081.ssi.xhtml for
links to binary and to source).

I have had a very brief look over the source code and it is not obvious
to me whether it can be trusted.

So my question: is there anyone who read the source code with more
attention and can vouch whether it has no hidden pitfalls?
