The implementation uses a path-string check rather than comparing device and inode numbers to identify the root directory. An attacker or accidental user can bypass this safeguard by using a symbolic link that resolves to the root directory (e.g., /tmp/rootlink -> /), potentially leading to the unintended recursive deletion of the entire root filesystem."},{"lang":"es","value":"Una vulnerabilidad en la utilidad rm de uutils coreutils permite eludir la protección --preserve-root.
