CVE-2007-0895
Status: ModifiedLow (2.6)—
Race condition in recursive directory deletion with the (1) -r or (2) -R option in rm in Solaris 8 through 10 before 20070208 allows local users to delete files and directories as the user running rm by moving a low-level directory to a higher level as it is being deleted, which causes rm to chdir to a ".." directory that is higher than expected, possibly up to the root file system, a related issue to CVE-2002-0435.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P

Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.30%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 21
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
