CVE-2020-15076 1 Openvpn 1 Private Tunnel 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Private Tunnel installer for macOS version 3.0.1 and older versions may corrupt system critical files it should not have access via symlinks in /tmp.
CVE-2020-15075 1 Openvpn 1 Connect 2024-11-21 3.6 LOW 7.1 HIGH
OpenVPN Connect installer for macOS version 3.2.6 and older may corrupt system critical files it should not have access via symlinks in /tmp.
CVE-2020-14367 2 Fedoraproject, Tuxfamily 2 Fedora, Chrony 2024-11-21 3.6 LOW 6.0 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in chrony versions before 3.5.1 when creating the PID file under the /var/run/chrony folder. The file is created during chronyd startup while still running as the root user, and when it's opened for writing, chronyd does not check for an existing symbolic link with the same file name. This flaw allows an attacker with privileged access to create a symlink with the default PID file name pointing to any destination file in the system, resulting in data loss and a denial of service due to the path traversal.
CVE-2020-14004 1 Icinga 1 Icinga 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Icinga2 before v2.12.0-rc1. The prepare-dirs script (run as part of the icinga2 systemd service) executes chmod 2750 /run/icinga2/cmd. /run/icinga2 is under control of an unprivileged user by default. If /run/icinga2/cmd is a symlink, then it will by followed and arbitrary files can be changed to mode 2750 by the unprivileged icinga2 user.
CVE-2020-13833 1 Google 1 Android 2024-11-21 6.4 MEDIUM 9.1 CRITICAL
An issue was discovered on Samsung mobile devices with O(8.x), P(9.0), and Q(10.0) software. The system area allows arbitrary file overwrites via a symlink attack. The Samsung ID is SVE-2020-17183 (June 2020).
CVE-2020-13095 1 Obdev 1 Little Snitch 2024-11-21 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Little Snitch version 4.5.1 and older changed ownership of a directory path controlled by the user. This allowed the user to escalate to root by linking the path to a directory containing code executed by root.
CVE-2020-12878 1 Digi 2 Connectport X2e, Connectport X2e Firmware 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Digi ConnectPort X2e before 3.2.30.6 allows an attacker to escalate privileges from the python user to root via a symlink attack that uses chown, related to /etc/init.d/S50dropbear.sh and the /WEB/python/.ssh directory.
CVE-2020-12254 1 Avira 1 Antivirus 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Avira Antivirus before 5.0.2003.1821 on Windows allows privilege escalation or a denial of service via abuse of a symlink.
CVE-2020-11736 3 Canonical, Debian, Gnome 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, File-roller 2024-11-21 3.3 LOW 3.9 LOW
fr-archive-libarchive.c in GNOME file-roller through 3.36.1 allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file's parent is a symlink to a directory outside of the intended extraction location.
CVE-2020-11474 1 Ncp-e 1 Secure Enterprise Client 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
NCP Secure Enterprise Client before 10.15 r47589 allows a symbolic link attack on enumusb.reg via Support Assistant.
CVE-2020-10665 1 Docker 1 Desktop 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 6.7 MEDIUM
Docker Desktop allows local privilege escalation to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM because it mishandles the collection of diagnostics with Administrator privileges, leading to arbitrary DACL permissions overwrites and arbitrary file writes. This affects Docker Desktop Enterprise before 2.1.0.9, Docker Desktop for Windows Stable before 2.2.0.4, and Docker Desktop for Windows Edge before 2.2.2.0.
CVE-2020-10174 3 Canonical, Fedoraproject, Timeshift Project 3 Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, Timeshift 2024-11-21 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
init_tmp in TeeJee.FileSystem.vala in Timeshift before 20.03 unsafely reuses a preexisting temporary directory in the predictable location /tmp/timeshift. It follows symlinks in this location or uses directories owned by unprivileged users. Because Timeshift also executes scripts under this location, an attacker can attempt to win a race condition to replace scripts created by Timeshift with attacker-controlled scripts. Upon success, an attacker-controlled script is executed with full root privileges. This logic is practically always triggered when Timeshift runs regardless of the command-line arguments used.
CVE-2020-10003 1 Apple 5 Ipad Os, Iphone Os, Mac Os X and 2 more 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
An issue existed within the path validation logic for symlinks. This issue was addressed with improved path sanitization. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1, iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, tvOS 14.2, watchOS 7.1. A local attacker may be able to elevate their privileges.
CVE-2020-0789 1 Microsoft 1 Visual Studio 2019 2024-11-21 6.6 MEDIUM 7.1 HIGH
A denial of service vulnerability exists when the Visual Studio Extension Installer Service improperly handles hard links, aka 'Visual Studio Extension Installer Service Denial of Service Vulnerability'.
CVE-2020-0779 1 Microsoft 8 Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and 5 more 2024-11-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows Installer when MSI packages process symbolic links, aka 'Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2020-0798, CVE-2020-0814, CVE-2020-0842, CVE-2020-0843.
CVE-2020-0730 1 Microsoft 8 Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and 5 more 2024-11-21 3.6 LOW 7.1 HIGH
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows User Profile Service (ProfSvc) improperly handles symlinks, aka 'Windows User Profile Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.
CVE-2020-0616 1 Microsoft 3 Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 2024-11-21 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
A denial of service vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles hard links, aka 'Microsoft Windows Denial of Service Vulnerability'.
CVE-2019-9949 1 Westerndigital 18 My Cloud, My Cloud Dl2100, My Cloud Dl2100 Firmware and 15 more 2024-11-21 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Western Digital My Cloud Cloud, Mirror Gen2, EX2 Ultra, EX2100, EX4100, DL2100, DL4100, PR2100 and PR4100 before firmware 2.31.183 are affected by a code execution (as root, starting from a low-privilege user session) vulnerability. The cgi-bin/webfile_mgr.cgi file allows arbitrary file write by abusing symlinks. Specifically, this occurs by uploading a tar archive that contains a symbolic link, then uploading another archive that writes a file to the link using the "cgi_untar" command. Other commands might also be susceptible. Code can be executed because the "name" parameter passed to the cgi_unzip command is not sanitized.
CVE-2019-8789 1 Apple 3 Ipados, Iphone Os, Mac Os X 2024-11-21 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
A validation issue existed in the handling of symlinks. This issue was addressed with improved validation of symlinks. This issue is fixed in iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2, macOS Catalina 10.15.1. Parsing a maliciously crafted iBooks file may lead to disclosure of user information.
CVE-2019-8568 1 Apple 4 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Tvos and 1 more 2024-11-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
A validation issue existed in the handling of symlinks. This issue was addressed with improved validation of symlinks. This issue is fixed in iOS 12.3, macOS Mojave 10.14.5, tvOS 12.3, watchOS 5.2.1. A local user may be able to modify protected parts of the file system.
