That makes the problems more obvious to the security community at large, and helps increase that pressure to get things right. |
The only security-involved hack is the existence of a open Xserver, and even this does not qualify as a security problem if a way to write to the disk is not found, at this moment it is only a partial privacy problem. Moreover, in standard mode, the Xserver display is not showing any text while it is opened.
As for the other hacks, you can not tell that accesing a device from its main console is a security hole, can you?
