Hi list,
i have read about the linux backdoor, nice trick.
A simple solution to *that* kind of dirty tricks would
be to remove any A = B from if statements so somebody can
write a RE to track hidden initialisations in if statements.
of cause this will not solve the problem but help to reduce complexity of
finding current->uid=0 (and friends). It may
even uncover hidden bugs. ( i dont like if (ret=foo())<0) and friends).
any comments ?
