CVSS v3.1 |
| JBMC Software DirectAdmin before 1.334 allows local users to create or overwrite any file via a symlink attack on an arbitrary file in a certain temporary directory, related to a request for this temporary file in the PATH_INFO to the CMD_DB script during a backup action. |
| src/unit_test.c in gpsdrive (aka gpsdrive-scripts) 2.10~pre4 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/gpsdrive-unit-test/proc temporary file, a different vector than CVE-2008-4959 and CVE-2008-5380. |
| This affects all versions of package github.com/kataras/iris; all versions of package github.com/kataras/iris/v12. The unsafe handling of file names during upload using UploadFormFiles method may enable attackers to write to arbitrary locations outside the designated target folder. |
| A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in the packaging of exim in openSUSE Factory allows local attackers to escalate from user mail to root. This issue affects: openSUSE Factory exim versions prior to 4.93.0.4-3.1. |
| cvsupd.sh in CVSup 1.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain privileges via a symlink attack on /var/tmp/cvsupd.out. |
| A malicious guest compromised before a container creation (e.g. a malicious guest image or a guest running multiple containers) can trick the kata runtime into mounting the untrusted container filesystem on any host path, potentially allowing for code execution on the host. This issue affects: Kata Containers 1.11 versions earlier than 1.11.1; Kata Containers 1.10 versions earlier than 1.10.5; Kata Containers 1.9 and earlier versions. |
| noip2 in noip2 2.1.7 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/noip2 temporary file. |
| IBM Informix Dynamic Server Enterprise Edition 12.1 could allow a local user logged in with database administrator user to gain root privileges through a symbolic link vulnerability in infos.DBSERVERNAME. IBM X-Force ID: 144437. |
| Sun PC NetLink 1.0 through 1.2 does not properly set the access control list (ACL) for files and directories that use symbolic links and have been restored from backup, which could allow local or remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| Dell SupportAssist Client Consumer versions 3.9.13.0 and any versions prior to 3.9.13.0 contain an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability that can be exploited by using the Windows feature of NTFS called Symbolic links. Symbolic links can be created by any(non-privileged) user under some object directories, but by themselves are not sufficient to successfully escalate privileges. However, combining them with a different object, such as the NTFS junction point allows for the exploitation. Support assist clean files functionality do not distinguish junction points from the physical folder and proceeds to clean the target of the junction that allows nonprivileged users to create junction points and delete arbitrary files on the system which can be accessed only by the admin. |
| libs/updater.py in GoLismero 0.6.3, and other versions before Git revision 2b3bb43d6867, as used in backtrack and possibly other products, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on GoLismero-controlled files, as demonstrated using Admin/changes.dat. |
| mtx-changer.Adic-Scalar-24 in bacula-common 2.4.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/mtx.##### temporary file, probably a related issue to CVE-2005-2995. |
| The web server in Phoenix Contact ILC PLCs can be accessed without authenticating even if the authentication mechanism is enabled. |
| Vulnerabilities in the Drive Composer allow a low privileged attacker to create and write to a file anywhere on the file system as SYSTEM with arbitrary content as long as the file does not already exist. The Drive Composer installer file allows a low-privileged user to run a "repair" operation on the product. |
| IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes DB2 Connect Server) 9.7, 10.1, 10.5, and 11.1 could allow a local db2 instance owner to obtain root access by exploiting a symbolic link attack to read/write/corrupt a file that they originally did not have permission to access. IBM X-Force ID: 148803. |
| IBM Informix Dynamic Server Enterprise Edition 12.1 could allow a local user logged in with database administrator user to gain root privileges through a symbolic link vulnerability in onsrvapd. IBM X-Force ID: 144434. |
| Improper Access Control vulnerability in McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) for Windows prior to 10.7.0 September 2020 Update allows local users to access files which the user otherwise would not have access to via manipulating symbolic links to redirect McAfee file operations to an unintended file. |
| GNOME Display Manager (gdm) before 2.21.1 allows local users to change permissions of arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on /tmp/.X11-unix/. |
| Apport creates a world writable lock file with root ownership in the world writable /var/lock/apport directory. If the apport/ directory does not exist (this is not uncommon as /var/lock is a tmpfs), it will create the directory, otherwise it will simply continue execution using the existing directory. This allows for a symlink attack if an attacker were to create a symlink at /var/lock/apport, changing apport's lock file location. This file could then be used to escalate privileges, for example. Fixed in versions 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.23, 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.14, 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.8 and 2.20.11-0ubuntu22. |
| pyro before 3.15 unsafely handles pid files in temporary directory locations and opening the pid file as root. An attacker can use this flaw to overwrite arbitrary files via symlinks. |
