Use extreme caution running arbitrary code on your machines, especially obfuscated code that tickles kernel bugs! (edited)

The page explicitly describes that it is stealthy as it does not make permanent changes, only corrupting the binary in memory.

Is this fixed in any stable release kernel yet?

7.0-rc1 has a tag with it:

    % git describe a664bf3d603d
    v7.0-rc1-10-ga664bf3d603d
I suspect this means the stable 7.0 has it too.

This is amazing. Page says it works on RHEL 14.3, which doesn’t exist. Current RHEL is 10.x, this must’ve been done in a TARDIS.

The page itself seems vibecoded and a bit of an advertisement, but it does look like the vulnerability is real and high risk. It does explain the big security update I just got, guess I'll prioritize updating today.
