> os-prober is inherently insecure as it mounts all partitions on your disk using grub-mount to check them for other OS, which is not a nice thing to do as root as you can exploit bugs in the filesystem code easily. How often does the Linux kernel have filesystem exploits? I assume that the answer is "never" with an asterisk: If you're a high-value target worth blowing a zero-day on. So here we have a rare edge case, and instead of those people using a fork of grub, those of us who don't care need to use a fork of grub. Really shows where the priorities are in the Linux world. It's an obsession with security that overrules all thought.
