CVE-2015-3156 1 Openstack 1 Trove 2025-04-20 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
The _write_config function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/mongodb/service.py, reset_configuration function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/postgresql/service/config.py, write_config function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/redis/service.py, _write_mycnf function in trove/guestagent/datastore/mysql/service.py, InnoBackupEx::_run_prepare function in trove/guestagent/strategies/restore/mysql_impl.py, InnoBackupEx::cmd function in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, MySQLDump::cmd in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, InnoBackupExIncremental::cmd function in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, _get_actual_db_status function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/cassandra/system.py and trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/cassandra/service.py, and multiple class CbBackup methods in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/experimental/couchbase_impl.py in Openstack DBaaS (aka Trove) as packaged in Openstack before 2015.1.0 (aka Kilo) allows local users to write to configuration files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2017-9525 3 Canonical, Cron Project, Debian 3 Ubuntu Linux, Cron, Debian Linux 2025-04-20 6.9 MEDIUM 6.7 MEDIUM
In the cron package through 3.0pl1-128 on Debian, and through 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 on Ubuntu, the postinst maintainer script allows for group-crontab-to-root privilege escalation via symlink attacks against unsafe usage of the chown and chmod programs.
CVE-2016-9774 3 Apache, Canonical, Debian 3 Tomcat, Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The postinst script in the tomcat6 package before 6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb7u4 on Debian wheezy, before 6.0.35-1ubuntu3.9 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; the tomcat7 package before 7.0.28-4+deb7u8 on Debian wheezy, before 7.0.56-3+deb8u6 on Debian jessie, before 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, and 16.10; and the tomcat8 package before 8.0.14-1+deb8u5 on Debian jessie, before 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, before 8.0.37-1ubuntu0.1 on Ubuntu 16.10, and before 8.0.38-2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 17.04 might allow local users with access to the tomcat account to obtain sensitive information or gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the Catalina localhost directory.
CVE-2011-2684 1 Rkkda 1 Foo2zjs 2025-04-20 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
foo2zjs before 20110722dfsg-3ubuntu1 as packaged in Ubuntu, 20110722dfsg-1 as packaged in Debian unstable, and 20090908dfsg-5.1+squeeze0 as packaged in Debian squeeze create temporary files insecurely, which allows local users to write over arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/foo2zjs.
CVE-2016-6253 1 Netbsd 1 Netbsd 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
mail.local in NetBSD versions 6.0 through 6.0.6, 6.1 through 6.1.5, and 7.0 allows local users to change ownership of or append data to arbitrary files on the target system via a symlink attack on the user mailbox.
CVE-2016-7619 1 Apple 3 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Watchos 2025-04-20 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "libarchive" component, which allows local users to write to arbitrary files via vectors related to symlinks.
CVE-2017-2916 1 Meetcircle 2 Circle With Disney, Circle With Disney Firmware 2025-04-20 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
An exploitable vulnerability exists in the /api/CONFIG/restore functionality of Circle with Disney running firmware 2.0.1. Specially crafted network packets can cause an arbitrary file to be overwritten. An attacker can send an HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
CVE-2017-15357 1 Arqbackup 1 Arq 2025-04-20 6.9 MEDIUM 7.4 HIGH
The setpermissions function in the auto-updater in Arq before 5.9.7 for Mac allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the updater binary itself.
CVE-2017-1301 1 Ibm 1 Tivoli Storage Manager 2025-04-20 3.6 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a local attacker to launch a symlink attack. IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-archive Client creates temporary files insecurely. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link from a temporary file to various files on the system, which could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with elevated privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 125163.
CVE-2014-4978 2 Fedoraproject, Rawstudio 2 Fedora, Rawstudio 2025-04-20 3.6 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
The rs_filter_graph function in librawstudio/rs-filter.c in rawstudio might allow local users to truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /tmp/rs-filter-graph.png or (2) /tmp/rs-filter-graph.
CVE-2017-12172 1 Postgresql 1 Postgresql 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 6.7 MEDIUM
PostgreSQL 10.x before 10.1, 9.6.x before 9.6.6, 9.5.x before 9.5.10, 9.4.x before 9.4.15, 9.3.x before 9.3.20, and 9.2.x before 9.2.24 runs under a non-root operating system account, and database superusers have effective ability to run arbitrary code under that system account. PostgreSQL provides a script for starting the database server during system boot. Packages of PostgreSQL for many operating systems provide their own, packager-authored startup implementations. Several implementations use a log file name that the database superuser can replace with a symbolic link. As root, they open(), chmod() and/or chown() this log file name. This often suffices for the database superuser to escalate to root privileges when root starts the server.
CVE-2015-5701 1 Tug 1 Texlive 2025-04-20 5.6 MEDIUM 6.1 MEDIUM
mktexlsr revision 36855, and before revision 36626 as packaged in texlive allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. NOTE: this vulnerability exists due to the reversion of a fix of CVE-2015-5700.
CVE-2017-8108 1 Cisofy 1 Lynis 2025-04-20 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Unspecified tests in Lynis before 2.5.0 allow local users to write to arbitrary files or possibly gain privileges via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
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.
CVE-2015-7529 3 Canonical, Redhat, Sos Project 8 Ubuntu Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Server and 5 more 2025-04-20 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
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.
