lenovo K8 Plus - mtklog huge security issue

hi all,
recently bought lenovo k8 plus on 23-sep-17. While using the handset till today as on 27-sep-2017 the mtklog directory has grown by 1.1GB. Also it keeps log of almost everything & keeps growing. There is no way to disable it from mtk engineering menu where mtk logger is disabled. From searching found other ways which wont work on k8.

After a bit of research i found that  in mtklog-config.prop this line has to be false which as of now is        
"com.mediatek.log.mobile.enabled = true" 

we cant edit without rooting & that voids warranty.

Scary thing is mtklog directory records lot of stuff related to device. It also consumes a lot of space overtime & no way to disable it

I hope lenovo issue urgent patch for this.

regards,
maverick
