Re: Possible mass bug filing: The possibility of attack with the help of symlinks in some Debian packages



MdI> just by looking at the name.

If program A writes file FILENAME and user1 and user2 can make (write)
symlinks 'FILENAME' then name of program A is not important. 

user1 creates symlink FILENAME to ~user2/.gnupg/file, 
then user2 starts program A and destroy his .gnupg/file, etc

this is security problem
