The default configuration of logrotate on Gentoo Linux uses root privileges
to process files in directories that permit non-root write access, which
allows local users to conduct symlink and hard link attacks by leveraging
logrotate’s lack of support for untrusted directories, as demonstrated by
directories under /var/log/ for packages.
