I was about to suggest the following, on GNU/Linux: # Don't do this unless you know what you're doing! rm -fr /proc/self/cwd/
Except it doesn't work! Not even if I append '.': $ mkdir /tmp/victim $ cd /tmp/victim $ touch foo $ rm -fr /proc/self/cwd/ rm: cannot remove `/proc/self/cwd': Too many levels of symbolic links $ rm -fr /proc/self/cwd/. rm: cannot remove directory: `/proc/self/cwd/.' $ ls foo Aren't these bugs, at least?
