CVE-2005-0824 1 Mathopd 1 Mathopd 2021-06-01 3.6 LOW N/A
The internal_dump function in Mathopd before 1.5p5, and 1.6x before 1.6b6 BETA, when Mathopd is running with the -n option, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on dump files that are triggered by a SIGWINCH signal.
CVE-2020-28007 1 Exim 1 Exim 2021-05-10 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Exim 4 before 4.94.2 allows Execution with Unnecessary Privileges. Because Exim operates as root in the log directory (owned by a non-root user), a symlink or hard link attack allows overwriting critical root-owned files anywhere on the filesystem.
CVE-2021-30463 1 Vestacp 1 Control Panel 2021-04-14 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
VestaCP through 0.9.8-24 allows attackers to gain privileges by creating symlinks to files for which they lack permissions. After reading the RKEY value from user.conf under the /usr/local/vesta/data/users/admin directory, the admin password can be changed via a /reset/?action=confirm&user=admin&code= URI. This occurs because chmod is used unsafely.
CVE-2007-5437 1 Broadcom 1 Etrust Integrated Threat Management 2021-04-09 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
The web console in CA (formerly Computer Associates) eTrust ITM (Threat Manager) 8.1 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites via a crafted HTTP URL on port 6689.
CVE-2020-15075 1 Openvpn 1 Connect 2021-04-06 3.6 LOW 7.1 HIGH

CVE-2021-27241 1 Avast 1 Premium Security 2021-04-01 3.6 LOW 6.1 MEDIUM
This vulnerability allows local attackers to delete arbitrary directories on affected installations of Avast Premium Security 20.8.2429 (Build 20.8.5653.561). An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the AvastSvc.exe module. By creating a directory junction, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a directory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-12082.
CVE-2014-5459 3 Opensuse, Oracle, Php 4 Evergreen, Opensuse, Solaris and 1 more 2021-03-29 3.6 LOW N/A
The PEAR_REST class in REST.php in PEAR in PHP through 5.6.0 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a (1) rest.cachefile or (2) rest.cacheid file in /tmp/pear/cache/, related to the retrieveCacheFirst and useLocalCache functions.
CVE-2021-3310 1 Westerndigital 9 My Cloud Dl2100, My Cloud Dl4100, My Cloud Ex2100 and 6 more 2021-03-17 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Western Digital My Cloud OS 5 devices before 5.10.122 mishandle Symbolic Link Following on SMB and AFP shares. This can lead to code execution and information disclosure (by reading local files).
CVE-2013-1888 2 Fedoraproject, Pypa 2 Fedora, Pip 2021-03-15 2.1 LOW N/A
pip before 1.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in the /tmp/pip-build temporary directory.
CVE-2002-0824 1 Freebsd 1 Point-to-point Protocol Daemon 2021-03-11 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
BSD pppd allows local users to change the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file that is specified as a tty device.
CVE-2020-29529 1 Hashicorp 1 Go-slug 2021-03-08 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
HashiCorp go-slug up to 0.4.3 did not fully protect against directory traversal while unpacking tar archives, and protections could be bypassed with specific constructions of multiple symlinks. Fixed in 0.5.0.
CVE-2020-12878 1 Digi 2 Connectport X2e, Connectport X2e Firmware 2021-02-26 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-2012-1093 1 Debian 2 Debian Linux, X11-common 2021-02-25 6.9 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH

CVE-2020-4966 1 Ibm 1 Security Identity Governance And Intelligence 2021-01-28 4.3 MEDIUM 4.3 MEDIUM
IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence 5.2.6 does not set the secure attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. Attackers may be able to get the cookie values by sending a http:// link to a user or by planting this link in a site the user goes to. The cookie will be sent to the insecure link and the attacker can then obtain the cookie value by snooping the traffic. IBM X-Force ID: 192423.
CVE-2021-1145 1 Cisco 4 Asr 5000, Asr 5500, Asr 5700 and 1 more 2021-01-20 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
A vulnerability in the Secure FTP (SFTP) of Cisco StarOS for Cisco ASR 5000 Series Routers could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to read arbitrary files on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have valid credentials on the affected device. The vulnerability is due to insecure handling of symbolic links. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted SFTP command to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files on the affected device.
CVE-2021-21602 1 Jenkins 1 Jenkins 2021-01-15 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
