+Description: information leak by reading "callback=" lines in a debugfs file
+References:
+ https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-tracker/2019/01/msg00029.html
+Notes:
+ carnil> Not very convinced about the report as it only was throwed in
+ carnil> earlier this year on the debian security-tracker mailinglist.
+ carnil> Was it reported upstream? hidma_dbg.c introduced with
+ carnil> 570d0176296f0d17c4b5ab206ad4a4bc027b863b in 4.7-rc1.
+ canril> Issue mitigated with commit
+ canril> ad67b74d2469d9b82aaa572d76474c95bc484d57 ("printk: hash
+ canril> addresses printed with %p").
+ bwh> I consider hashing pointers to be a complete fix. Additionally
+ bwh> debugfs is only accessible to root by default.
