Frank McIngvale LuxMan Memory File Descriptor Leakage Vulnerability

It has been reported that the 'maped' binary in LuxMan is vulnerable to a leakage of open file descriptors that may result in unauthorized disclosure of memory. It is allegedly possible for attackers to inherit open file descriptors with read/write access to /dev/mem by executing a malicious program through maped.
