group video access hazards?



Hello,

I'm curious what a malicious user could do with access to the
framebuffer device via the </dev/fb0> device file.  Could a malicious
user see anything other than what's on his or her virtual console or X
session?

As it is I'm leaving ZGV set UID root on the theory that ZGV dropping
root privileges is more secure than it keeping group video privileges.

Thanks,
