I was just reading the aufs man-page section on security with an NFS directory with mode 711. One way to improve security would be to generate symlink filenames containing a lot of random characters. Then, write a bogus symlink where the symlink target is actually the random-character tag. It would only take one extra readlink() to get the tag value required to look up the actual link.
