[Bug 1202925] VUL-1: live-langset-data: interprets kernel command line, possibly allows operation outside of intended scope

I don't think its a real security issue, because:
- being able to edit the kernel command line also offers other attack vectors like `init=/bin/bash`.
Yeah, this is not a vulnerability. At some point the /proc/cmdline parsing can probably be removed, because those options are only set by our isolinux theme, which is only used on the i586 live media anymore. Other archs including x86_64 use grub2 meanwhile which doesn't offer the language and keyboard options. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
