if SINGLE privkey is compromised from linear chain then ALL privkeys can be computed in same chain.

that's not right.  you'd need more information, like the chain code if it's even possible, than just a single privkey from the chain.

you need the master seed and one privkey if I understand correctly. Not sure what kind of other information would be sufficient, but a single private key isn't.
