Something like this is often found in scripts (including older ones
written by me).

A user could create links with a small script

/tmp/mvhdisk.0 -> /etc/passwd
...
/tmp/mvhdisk.max$$ -> /etc/passwd

or any other file he likes to overwrite as root.

Not a big deal as you normally have trusted users within a company.

Anyway something one should know.
