|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2017-9525 | 3 Canonical, Cron Project, Debian | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Cron, Debian Linux | 2025-04-20 | 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-2017-7501 | 1 Rpm | 1 Rpm | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2017-2916 | 1 Meetcircle | 2 Circle With Disney, Circle With Disney Firmware | 2025-04-20 | 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-2017-6981 | 1 Apple | 2 Iphone Os, Mac Os X | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2016-1255 | 2 Canonical, Debian | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Postgresql-common | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The pg_ctlcluster script in postgresql-common package in Debian wheezy before 134wheezy5, in Debian jessie before 165+deb8u2, in Debian unstable before 178, in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS before 129ubuntu1.2, in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS before 154ubuntu1.1, in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS before 173ubuntu0.1, in Ubuntu 17.04 before 179ubuntu0.1, and in Ubuntu 17.10 before 184ubuntu1.1 allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on a logfile in /var/log/postgresql. | ||||
| CVE-2015-7724 | 1 Amd | 1 Fglrx-driver | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2015-8860 | 1 Nodejs | 1 Node.js | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The tar package before 2.0.0 for Node.js allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in an archive. | ||||
| CVE-2016-3108 | 2 Pulpproject, Redhat | 3 Pulp, Satellite, Satellite Capsule | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The pulp-gen-nodes-certificate script in Pulp before 2.8.3 allows local users to leak the keys or write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. | ||||
| CVE-2017-7418 | 1 Proftpd | 1 Proftpd | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2015-5705 | 2 Devscripts Devel Team, Fedoraproject | 2 Devscripts, Fedora | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2015-8326 | 1 Iptables-parse Project | 1 Iptables-parse Module | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The IPTables-Parse module before 1.6 for Perl allows local users to write to arbitrary files owned by the current user. | ||||
| CVE-2016-10089 | 1 Nagios | 1 Nagios | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| Nagios 4.3.2 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a hard link attack on the Nagios init script file, related to CVE-2016-8641. | ||||
| CVE-2016-10374 | 1 Perltidy Project | 1 Perltidy | 2025-04-20 | 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-2015-5701 | 1 Tug | 1 Texlive | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2016-7619 | 1 Apple | 3 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Watchos | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2017-1301 | 1 Ibm | 1 Tivoli Storage Manager | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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.

| 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-2015-6240 | 1 Redhat | 1 Ansible | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The chroot, jail, and zone connection plugins in ansible before 1.9.2 allow local users to escape a restricted environment via a symlink attack. | ||||
