That tool only checks to see if any known backdoors have been installed
(presumably by exploiting the CVS-2010-3081 hole).  It does NOT actually
check to see if your system is vulnerable.

All RHEL 5 systems running the x86_64 kernel are currently vulnerable,
unless you are running your own custom kernel or have applied the
ksplice run-time patch.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
