Description Marian Rehak 2022-01-17 14:29:13 UTC 
The `std::fs::remove_dir_all` standard library function is vulnerable to a race condition enabling symlink following. An attacker could use this security issue to trick a privileged program into deleting files and directories the attacker couldn't otherwise access or delete.
