DISPUTED init in initramfs-tools 0.92f allows local users to
overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/initramfs.debug
temporary file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, stating that
“init is [used in] a single-user context; there’s no possibility that this
is exploitable.”
