I want to know your favorite filesystem quirks!

You like symlink exploits in gnu tar , busybox tar , node tar , or one of the many other tar implementation?

You thought about directory traversal attacks using ā€˜..’, but not about url-encoding using ā€œ.%2eā€ like Apache?

You like confused deputy attacks leading to privilege escalation, using i.e. Xorg?

I want to know your (least-) favorite filesystem bugs or exploits as long as its related to filesystem implementations , the POSIX or Linux (, maybe even Windows) filesystem API , or related to tools like tar that take some kind of filesystem snapshot.

Please open an issue on github issue tracker or write me at rnxpyke (a t) gmail (d o t) com if you have something that fits these criteria.
