CVSS v3.1 |
| fuse 2.8.5 and earlier does not properly handle when /etc/mtab cannot be updated, which allows local users to unmount arbitrary directories via a symlink attack. |
| The open_log function in log.c in Exim 4.72 and earlier does not check the return value from (1) setuid or (2) setgid system calls, which allows local users to append log data to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. |
| The SPICE Firefox plug-in (spice-xpi) 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, and possibly other versions allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the usbrdrctl log file, which has a predictable name. |
| pimd 2.1.5 and possibly earlier versions allows user-assisted local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) pimd.dump when a USR1 signal is sent, or (2) pimd.cache when USR2 is sent. |
| The default configuration of libsdp.conf in libsdp 1.1.104 and earlier creates log files in /tmp, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a (1) symlink or (2) hard link attack on the libsdp.log.##### temporary file. |
| PGTStorage/pgt-file.php in phpCAS before 1.1.3, when proxy mode is enabled, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified file. |
| The SPICE (aka spice-xpi) plug-in 2.2 for Firefox allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified log file. |
| The make_lockdir_name function in policy.c in pmount 0.9.18 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in /var/lock/. |
| openibd in OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.5.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/ib_set_node_desc.sh temporary file. |
| MySQL before 5.1.46 allows local users to delete the data and index files of another user's MyISAM table via a symlink attack in conjunction with the DROP TABLE command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-7247. |
| Certain patch-installation scripts in Oracle Solaris allow local users to append data to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/CLEANUP temporary file, related to use of Update Manager. |
| GNU nano before 2.2.4 does not verify whether a file has been changed before it is overwritten in a file-save operation, which allows local user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an attacker-owned file that is being edited by the victim. |
| Puppet 0.24.x before 0.24.9 and 0.25.x before 0.25.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/daemonout, (2) /tmp/puppetdoc.txt, (3) /tmp/puppetdoc.tex, or (4) /tmp/puppetdoc.aux temporary file. |
| Bournal before 1.4.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on unspecified temporary files associated with a --hack_the_gibson update check. |
| The runtime linker in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.5.0 before Service Pack 1 does not properly clear the LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT and LD_DEBUG environment variables when a program is spawned from a setuid program, which allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack. |
| LightDM before 1.0.6 allows local users to change ownership of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on ~/.Xauthority. |
| Race condition in the xdg.BaseDirectory.get_runtime_dir function in python-xdg 0.25 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by pre-creating /tmp/pyxdg-runtime-dir-fallback-victim to point to a victim-owned location, then replacing it with a symlink to an attacker-controlled location once the get_runtime_dir function is called. |
| A symlink following vulnerability was found in Samba, where a user can create a symbolic link that will make 'smbd' escape the configured share path. This flaw allows a remote user with access to the exported part of the file system under a share via SMB1 unix extensions or NFS to create symlinks to files outside the 'smbd' configured share path and gain access to another restricted server's filesystem. |
| Windows Group Policy Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability |
| uptimed before 0.4.6-r1 on Gentoo allows local users (with access to the uptimed user account) to gain root privileges by creating a hard link within the /var/spool/uptimed directory, because there is an unsafe chown -R call. |
