"Omitting this option should not be considered a security restriction,
since symlink testing is subject to race conditions that make it
circumventable.
"Omitting this option should not be considered a security enhancement,
because the time while testing symlinks can be subject to race conditions
and so the security measure taken omitting this option can be circumvented.
The end of this new sentence confuses me more then simply "race
condition" in the original, but I do agree that "make it
circumventable" could use some work.
"Omitting this option should not be considered a security measure,
because there remains a race condition in the span of time between
checking that a path component is not a symlink and then subsequently
using that path component."
(a little redundant to explain "race condition")
Yes, I like this last sentence ; a little redundance is nether a bad thing.
All I've got left to do is translate it into french ;-)
Thanks to all for help
