You also need to consider non-suid things called by suid things that don't
sanitize input sufficiently before invocation...

Thinking about at - is it really a good thing to try to do this in kernelspace?
Or is 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/print-fatal-signals' and a program to watch
the dmesg and take action more appropriate?  A userspace monitor would
have more options (though a slightly higher risk of race conditions).
