Hi,
who maintains that pipe buffer magic in 2.6?
Reason I'm asking: The kernel 2.4 branch does not sanitize pipe buffers, but there's a trivial patch to achieve this [1]
I'd like to have the option to sanitize pipe buffers in 2.6.x kernels too, so I'm looking for a person to talk to. From what I heard, in kernel 2.6 branch pipe magic works differently. To what extend exactly? Or are pipe buffers already sanitized in the 2.6 kernel branch? (I doubt that)
In light of the cold-boot attack[2] I'd like to have pipe buffers sanitized. So, how do I achieve this? Any hints?
