lpr on SunOS 4.1.1, BSD 4.3, A/UX 2.0.1, and other BSD-based operating systems allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack that is triggered after invoking lpr 1000 times.
The (1) pcmd and (2) pmlogger init scripts in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) before 3.6.10 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /var/tmp/##### temporary file.
