Re: [PATCH RESEND 5/6] docs: Document security implications of debugging

[Dominik Czarnota]

Hi,

Just to add two cents here: the commit message is a bit not true because the qemu-user GDB stub could always read host files by just changing the emulated code to open and read those files. Apart from that, I like the documentation additions.

Best regards,

Dominik 'Disconnect3d' Czarnota
