RenderDoc before 1.27 allows local privilege escalation via a symlink attack. It relies on the /tmp/RenderDoc directory regardless of ownership.
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
