Phone MMC-SUPERBRICK-BUG Kernel?

Is there any way of finding out wether or not I have a kernel that is affected by the MMC-Superbrick-bug? I strongly believe I am not affected by this bug, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I have a Cyanogenmod Kernel which I flashed using the "noob-proof" guide for Cyanogenmod 9.

-Only original/stock kernels of ICS 4.0.4 firmwares are affected by the super brick bug.

Kernels based on the stock 4.0.4one may also contain the bug e.g insecure kernels for rooting or CF-ROOT.

-99.9% is the custom kernels however do not have this super brick bug. I can confirm these kernels don't have it:

-Siyah kernel
-Dorimanx kernel
-dream kernel
-Speedmod kernel
-Neak kernel
-Codeworkx kernel, shipped with CYANOGENMODs and AOKP Roms

Guys its only a suggestion.....

It will be good if some developer can make a windows based application or script that can check any kernel with "MMC_CAP_ERASE=1 or ENABLED"

So one will have to just select a kernel file (.zip or .tar or zimage) and the application will return with a message saying "This Kernel is SAFE to Flash !!!" or "Danger !!! This kernel has Brick bug. Install with extreme caution"


That will help people to check any kernel before flashing and without any fear of brick..
DID I HELP YOU ???

Ph. Model : Galaxy SII I9100
Rom : Keep on changing
Kernel : Prefer Siyah because of STweaks
Modem : XXLPX

I know definitely that Fluxi is safe but i was recommending the safe ones for stock ROMs.
Fluxi only works on AOSP ROMs
