hello, I did various tests on most recent CentOS version, and I didnt get this crash. Could you give more information about that? Thank you very much

from reptile.

It's weird I was testing on CentOS VM with Vmware-Tools packaged version now on a clean install with open-vm-tools installed it's working fine and no memory corruption

from reptile.

very nice man! I am glad your test doesn't crash anymore. May you close this issue?

greetings

Now I'm sure about this bug if you disabled kdump you won't notice it but it exist in file content hiding functions

edit: actually with kdump disabled it's even more disastrous the system completely hangs and became unresponsive after unloading the module and you have to hard reboot / shutdown
also same behavior on CentOS 6.9 but system hangs when you reboot / poweroff after unloading the kernel module

On CentOS 7.4 with kdump disabled or enabled (systemctl status kdump)

./installer install

and then unhide & unload

kill -50 0 && rmmod reptile_mod

wait a few seconds and your shell will crash and when you open a new ssh connection you get
ABRT has detected 1 problem(s). For more info run: abrt-cli list
