Comment on Security vulnerability in Rust standard libraryparent

Comments

It wasn't known to be a security vulnerability as time.

Failing to recognize it as such is not a hugely different kind of failure. Symlink attacks have been known about for a long time. I'm not castigating the devs/teams here (I don't even think the underlying security risk is that high) but any credit for speedy response should carry caaqil's significant caveat.
