Actually this specific report is about BIOS leaving its keyboard buffer - you can find BIOS password there too. As BIOS is proprietary firmware whatever we do we can never ensure it being secure. Even the task to just wipe grub's memory would take time to implement. I'll do it but probably timeframe before release freeze is too short. > > Thanks > > Michal > > Thanks > > Michal > > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > address@hidden > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel > -- Regards Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko Personal git repository: http://repo.or.cz/w/grub2/phcoder.git
