Btw, that baseline for me is now that I can do
./scripts/leaking_addresses.pl | wc -l
18
and of those 18 hits, six are false positives (looks like bitmaps in
the uevent keys).
The remaining 12 are from the EFI runtime map files
(/sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/*). They should presumably not be
world-readable, but sadly the kset_create_and_add() helper seems to do
that by default.
I think the sysfs code makes it insanely too easy to make things
world-readable. You try to be careful, and mark things read-only etc,
but __ATTR_RO() jkust means S_IRUGO, which means world-readable.
There seems to be no convenient model for kobjects having better
permissions. Greg?
