|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2017-6981 | 1 Apple | 2 Iphone Os, Mac Os X | 2025-04-20 | 9.3 HIGH | 7.8 HIGH |
| An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.5 is affected. The issue involves the "iBooks" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app that uses symlinks. | |||||
| CVE-2017-1000115 | 3 Debian, Mercurial, Redhat | 8 Debian Linux, Mercurial, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 5 more | 2025-04-20 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| Mercurial prior to version 4.3 is vulnerable to a missing symlink check that can malicious repositories to modify files outside the repository | |||||
| CVE-2017-7501 | 1 Rpm | 1 Rpm | 2025-04-20 | 4.6 MEDIUM | 7.8 HIGH |
| It was found that versions of rpm before 4.13.0.2 use temporary files with predictable names when installing an RPM. An attacker with ability to write in a directory where files will be installed could create symbolic links to an arbitrary location and modify content, and possibly permissions to arbitrary files, which could be used for denial of service or possibly privilege escalation. | |||||
| CVE-2017-7418 | 1 Proftpd | 1 Proftpd | 2025-04-20 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| ProFTPD before 1.3.5e and 1.3.6 before 1.3.6rc5 controls whether the home directory of a user could contain a symbolic link through the AllowChrootSymlinks configuration option, but checks only the last path component when enforcing AllowChrootSymlinks. Attackers with local access could bypass the AllowChrootSymlinks control by replacing a path component (other than the last one) with a symbolic link. The threat model includes an attacker who is not granted full filesystem access by a hosting provider, but can reconfigure the home directory of an FTP user. | |||||
| CVE-2015-5700 | 1 Tug | 1 Texlive | 2025-04-20 | 5.6 MEDIUM | 6.1 MEDIUM |
| mktexlsr revision 22855 through revision 36625 as packaged in texlive allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. | |||||

| sosreport in SoS 3.x allows local users to obtain sensitive information from sosreport files or gain privileges via a symlink attack on an archive file in a temporary directory, as demonstrated by sosreport-$hostname-$date.tar in /tmp/sosreport-$hostname-$date. | |||||
| CVE-2016-10374 | 1 Perltidy Project | 1 Perltidy | 2025-04-20 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| perltidy through 20160302, as used by perlcritic, check-all-the-things, and other software, relies on the current working directory for certain output files and does not have a symlink-attack protection mechanism, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by creating a symlink, as demonstrated by creating a perltidy.ERR symlink that the victim cannot delete. | |||||
| CVE-2015-5705 | 2 Devscripts Devel Team, Fedoraproject | 2 Devscripts, Fedora | 2025-04-20 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| Argument injection vulnerability in devscripts before 2.15.7 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a crafted symlink and crafted filename. | |||||
| CVE-2015-7724 | 1 Amd | 1 Fglrx-driver | 2025-04-20 | 7.2 HIGH | 7.8 HIGH |
| AMD fglrx-driver before 15.9 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack. NOTE: This vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-7723. | |||||
| CVE-2017-7549 | 2 Openstack, Redhat | 2 Instack-undercloud, Openstack | 2025-04-20 | 3.3 LOW | 6.4 MEDIUM |
| A flaw was found in instack-undercloud 7.2.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Platform Pike, 6.1.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Platform Oacta, 5.3.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Newton, where pre-install and security policy scripts used insecure temporary files. A local user could exploit this flaw to conduct a symbolic-link attack, allowing them to overwrite the contents of arbitrary files. | |||||
| CVE-2017-2390 | 1 Apple | 4 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Tvos and 1 more | 2025-04-20 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3 is affected. macOS before 10.12.4 is affected. tvOS before 10.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.2 is affected. The issue involves symlink mishandling in the "libarchive" component. It allows local users to change arbitrary directory permissions via unspecified vectors. | |||||
| CVE-2017-16611 | 3 Canonical, Debian, X | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Libxfont | 2025-04-20 | 4.9 MEDIUM | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| In libXfont before 1.5.4 and libXfont2 before 2.0.3, a local attacker can open (but not read) files on the system as root, triggering tape rewinds, watchdogs, or similar mechanisms that can be triggered by opening files. | |||||

| CVE-2017-8806 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Postgresql | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Postgresql | 2025-04-20 | 3.6 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| The Debian pg_ctlcluster, pg_createcluster, and pg_upgradecluster scripts, as distributed in the Debian postgresql-common package before 181+deb9u1 for PostgreSQL (and other packages related to Debian and Ubuntu), handled symbolic links insecurely, which could result in local denial of service by overwriting arbitrary files. | |||||
