Yes, i do.

This slipped through, because my  /etc/opt/xorriso/rc  has

  -drive_class harmless /dev/null

When i run

  xorriso -no_rc -outdev /dev/null

i get

  xorriso : FAILURE : Drive address '/dev/null' rejected because: not MMC and 
-drive_class 'risky' '/dev'
  xorriso : HINT : If the address is a legitimate target, prepend "stdio:"

(I need to change the message. It's 'caution', not 'risky'.
But the hint is ok. By default, /dev paths must lead to a
burner drive or must be marked by prefix "stdio:". That's
to prevent auto foot shooting by the superuser.)


Have a nice day :)
