The malware scan function in Total Defense Anti-virus 11.5.2.28 is vulnerable to a TOCTOU bug; consequently, symbolic link attacks allow privileged files to be deleted.

Weakness

The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource’s state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check.
