How nice, you just leaked to userspace the size of passwords and other sensitive things typed into a serial console :( No, we can't do this, we fixed up this problem in other places we leaked the transmition of serial data through proc and sysfs files, let's not add new ones and go backwards in security. Sorry, we can't do this, and I really doubt that it matters. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
