|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2017-16611 | 3 Canonical, Debian, X | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Libxfont | 2025-04-20 | 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-2017-7418 | 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-2017-8806 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Postgresql | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Postgresql | 2025-04-20 | 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. | ||||
| 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. 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-2015-3156 | 1 Openstack | 1 Trove | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2017-7549 | 2 Openstack, Redhat | 3 Instack-undercloud, Openstack, Openstack-director | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2015-7723 | 1 Amd | 1 Fglrx-driver | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| AMD fglrx-driver before 15.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack. | ||||
| 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-2017-12258 | 1 Cisco | 1 Unified Communications Manager | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| A vulnerability in the web-based UI of Cisco Unified Communications Manager could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute a cross-frame scripting (XFS) attack. The vulnerability exists because the affected software does not provide sufficient protections for HTML inline frames (iframes). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by directing a user of the affected software to an attacker-controlled web page that contains a malicious HTML inline frame. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct click-jacking or other types of client-side browser attacks. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve60993. | ||||
| 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-2015-3149 | 1 Redhat | 8 Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Hpc Node and 5 more | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The Hotspot component in OpenJDK8 as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. | ||||
| CVE-2015-3211 | 1 Php-fpm | 1 Php-fpm | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| php-fpm allows local users to write to or create arbitrary files via a symlink attack. | ||||
| CVE-2016-9774 | 3 Apache, Canonical, Debian | 3 Tomcat, Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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. | ||||

| 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-2016-6253 | 1 Netbsd | 1 Netbsd | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-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-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. | ||||
