Matt Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I believe I have found a vulnerability in dev/null.I first came upon it, when I was writing an email, and I saved the file at the location /dev/null. Upon logging in again, I found that the file has mysteriously vanished. This was very sensitive information, so I even encrypted it. But this seem like a vulnerability in the Linux kernel, that non root users have access to delete and modify /dev/null as it is the only possible explanation for my file disappearing.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=717326Haha, I smell a troll...
