CVSS v3.1 |
| openCryptoki 2.4.1 allows local users to create or set world-writable permissions on arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) LCK..opencryptoki or (2) LCK..opencryptoki_stdll file in /var/lock/. |
| ocrodjvu 0.4.6-1 on Debian GNU/Linux allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files that are generated when Cuneiform is invoked as the OCR engine. |
| 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. |
| (1) contrib/gforge-3.0-cronjobs.patch, (2) cronjobs/homedirs.php, (3) deb-specific/fileforge.pl, (4) deb-specific/group_dump_update.pl, (5) deb-specific/ssh_dump_update.pl, (6) deb-specific/user_dump_update.pl, (7) plugins/scmbzr/common/BzrPlugin.class.php, (8) plugins/scmcvs/common/CVSPlugin.class.php, (9) plugins/scmcvs/cronjobs/cvs.php, (10) plugins/scmcvs/cronjobs/ssh_create.php, (11) plugins/scmgit/common/GitPlugin.class.php, (12) plugins/scmsvn/common/SVNPlugin.class.php, (13) plugins/wiki/cronjobs/create_groups.php, (14) utils/cvs1/cvscreate.sh, and (15) utils/include.pl in FusionForge 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2 allows local users to change arbitrary file permissions, obtain sensitive information, and have other unspecified impacts via a (1) symlink or (2) hard link attack on certain files. |
| The qmailscan plugin for Munin 1.4.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable names. |
| ext/common/ServerInstanceDir.h in Phusion Passenger gem before 4.0.6 for Ruby allows local users to gain privileges or possibly change the ownership of arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on a directory with a predictable name in /tmp/. |
| Red Hat Storage 2.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) e, (2) local-bricks.list, (3) bricks.err, or (4) limits.conf files in /tmp. |
| The getSkillname function in the eve module in Conky 1.8.1 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/.cesf. |
| The configure script in D-Bus (aka DBus) 1.2.x before 1.2.28 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified file in /tmp/. |
| axiom-test.sh in axiom 20100701-1.1 uses tempfile to create a safe temporary file but appends a suffix to the original filename and writes to this new filename, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the new filename. |
| syncevo/installcheck-local.sh in syncevolution before 1.3.99.7 uses mktemp to create a safe temporary file but appends a suffix to the original filename and writes to this new filename, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the new filename. |
| GNU gv before 3.7.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. |
| lppasswd in CUPS before 1.7.1, when running with setuid privileges, allows local users to read portions of arbitrary files via a modified HOME environment variable and a symlink attack involving .cups/client.conf. |
| The installer in PEAR 1.9.2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the package.xml file, related to the (1) download_dir, (2) cache_dir, (3) tmp_dir, and (4) pear-build-download directories. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1072. |
| The installer in PEAR before 1.9.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the package.xml file, related to the (1) download_dir, (2) cache_dir, (3) tmp_dir, and (4) pear-build-download directories, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-2519. |
| Chip Salzenberg Deliver allows local users to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, and possibly change the ownership of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified file. |
| 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. |
| A link following vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service Damage Cleanup Engine could allow a local attacker to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations.
Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. |
