I read it in the magazine (dead tree form). I have now patched my hdparm and put an "/sbin/hdparm -F /dev/hde" in my udev-bootscript (so it is executed as soon as the file "/dev/hde" is created). It all works fine so long... But I don't think that's really a high-class security-hole - an attacker needs root-permissions - and nobody should ever get them...
