and here's the patch for validating file types:

commit 8ad0edb1e4198bbf657708d07360bbac8b30b55a
Author: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi at balabit.hu>

    [affile] validate file type before opening

    report an error if a file is opened using the pipe() driver, OR a
    fifo is opened using the file() driver. named pipes should really be
    driven by the pipe() driver.


The validation could even be stricter, but I don't want to close out block/char devices if someone wants to write there, so only the FIFO file type is excluded
from using the file driver.
