Maybe I wasn't clear here, but I think your change modifies logic here. After your change I read it as "if an attacker can remember the data, he can also write them back" and my intention was: "if an attacker can remember the data and can write them back..." In other words, beeing able to read the data, doesn't imply beeing able to write them back. I meant "he can write them back undetected" there. Could you change it to be understandable?:) --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
