directory with a symlink and trick it into following the link.

Also, if someone checks in a symlink to /etc/passwd, ikiwiki would read and publish that, which could be used to expose files a committer otherwise wouldn't see.

To avoid this, ikiwiki will avoid reading files that are symlinks, and uses locking to prevent more than one instance running at a time. The lock prevents one ikiwiki from running a svn up at the wrong time to race another ikiwiki. So only attackers who can write to the working copy on their own can race it.

## symlink + cgi attacks
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, a svn commit of a symlink could be made, ikiwiki ignores it
|
||||
because of the above, but the symlink is still there, and then you edit the
|
||||
page from the web, which follows the symlink when reading the page, and
|
||||
again when saving the changed page.
|
||||
|
||||
This was fixed by making ikiwiki refuse to read or write to files that are
|
||||
symlinks, combined with the above locking.
