I searched the web a lot but didn't find a short explanation about what write_cr0(read_cr0() | 0x10000) really do. It is related to the Linux kernel and I curios about developing LKM's. I want to know what this really do and what are the security issues with this.

It used to remove the write protection on the syscall table.But how it is really works? and what does each thing in this line?
