Summary

The filepath.Walk and filepath.WalkDir functions are documented as not following symbolic links, but both functions are susceptible to a TOCTOU (time of check/time of use) race condition where a portion of the path being walked is replaced with a symbolic link while the walk is in progress.

Does this affect you?

Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when a vendor you run ships something exploited.
