CVE-2020-26277 1 Dbdeployer 1 Dbdeployer 2020-12-23 4.0 MEDIUM 6.1 MEDIUM
DBdeployer is a tool that deploys MySQL database servers easily. In DBdeployer before version 1.58.2, users unpacking a tarball may use a maliciously packaged tarball that contains symlinks to files external to the target. In such scenario, an attacker could induce dbdeployer to write into a system file, thus altering the computer defenses. For the attack to succeed, the following factors need to contribute: 1) The user is logged in as root. While dbdeployer is usable as root, it was designed to run as unprivileged user. 2) The user has taken a tarball from a non secure source, without testing the checksum. When the tarball is retrieved through dbdeployer, the checksum is compared before attempting to unpack. This has been fixed in version 1.58.2.

UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following in TP-Link Archer C9(US)_V1_180125 firmware allows an unauthenticated actor, with physical access and network access, to read sensitive files and write to a limited set of files after plugging a crafted USB drive into the router.
CVE-2020-23968 1 Ilex 1 International Sign\&go 2020-12-01 6.9 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Ilex International Sign&go Workstation Security Suite 7.1 allows elevation of privileges via a symlink attack on ProgramData\Ilex\S&G\Logs\000-sngWSService1.log.
CVE-2020-8015 2 Exim, Opensuse 2 Exim, Opensuse 2020-11-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
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.
CVE-2019-3692 2 Opensuse, Suse 4 Factory, Leap, Inn and 1 more 2020-11-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The packaging of inn on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11; openSUSE Factory, Leap 15.1 allows local attackers to escalate from user inn to root via symlink attacks. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 inn version 2.4.2-170.21.3.1 and prior versions. openSUSE Factory inn version 2.6.2-2.2 and prior versions. openSUSE Leap 15.1 inn version 2.5.4-lp151.2.47 and prior versions.
CVE-2019-18901 2 Opensuse, Suse 2 Leap, Linux Enterprise Server 2020-11-20 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in the mysql-systemd-helper of the mariadb packaging of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 allows local attackers to change the permissions of arbitrary files to 0640. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 mariadb versions prior to 10.2.31-3.25.1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 mariadb versions prior to 10.2.31-3.26.1.
CVE-2019-3690 1 Opensuse 1 Leap 2020-11-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The chkstat tool in the permissions package followed symlinks before commit a9e1d26cd49ef9ee0c2060c859321128a6dd4230 (please also check the additional hardenings after this fix). This allowed local attackers with control over a path that is traversed by chkstat to escalate privileges.
CVE-2020-5795 1 Tp-link 2 Archer A7, Archer A7 Firmware 2020-11-19 7.2 HIGH 6.2 MEDIUM
UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following in TP-Link Archer A7(US)_V5_200721 allows an authenticated admin user, with physical access and network access, to execute arbitrary code after plugging a crafted USB drive into the router.
CVE-2009-0035 1 Alsa-project 1 Alsa 2020-11-16 3.6 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
alsa-utils 1.0.19 and later versions allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack via the /usr/bin/alsa-info and /usr/bin/alsa-info.sh scripts.
CVE-2010-3879 1 Libfuse Project 1 Libfuse 2020-11-10 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
FUSE, possibly 2.8.5 and earlier, allows local users to create mtab entries with arbitrary pathnames, and consequently unmount any filesystem, via a symlink attack on the parent directory of the mountpoint of a FUSE filesystem, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0789.
CVE-2020-2026 1 Katacontainers 1 Runtime 2020-11-04 4.6 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
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.
CVE-2020-14004 1 Icinga 1 Icinga 2020-11-02 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-2018-21269 1 Openrc Project 1 Openrc 2020-11-02 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
checkpath in OpenRC through 0.42.1 might allow local users to take ownership of arbitrary files because a non-terminal path component can be a symlink.
CVE-2017-18925 1 Openr 1 Opentmpfiles 2020-10-30 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
opentmpfiles through 0.3.1 allows local users to take ownership of arbitrary files because d entries are mishandled and allow a symlink attack.
CVE-2019-8454 2 Checkpoint, Microsoft 2 Endpoint Security, Windows 2020-10-22 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
A local attacker can create a hard-link between a file to which the Check Point Endpoint Security client for Windows before E80.96 writes and another BAT file, then by impersonating the WPAD server, the attacker can write BAT commands into that file that will later be run by the user or the system.
CVE-2019-8452 1 Checkpoint 2 Endpoint Security, Zonealarm 2020-10-22 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
A hard-link created from log file archive of Check Point ZoneAlarm up to 15.4.062 or Check Point Endpoint Security client for Windows before E80.96 to any file on the system will get its permission changed so that all users can access that linked file. Doing this on files with limited access gains the local attacker higher privileges to the file.
CVE-2019-8455 1 Checkpoint 1 Zonealarm 2020-10-22 3.6 LOW 7.1 HIGH
A hard-link created from the log file of Check Point ZoneAlarm up to 15.4.062 to any file on the system will get its permission changed so that all users can access that linked file. Doing this on files with limited access gains the local attacker higher privileges to the file.
CVE-2019-5438 1 Harpjs 1 Harp 2020-10-16 5.0 MEDIUM 5.3 MEDIUM
Path traversal using symlink in npm harp module versions <= 0.29.0.
CVE-2019-18575 1 Dell 1 Command\|configure 2020-10-16 6.6 MEDIUM 7.1 HIGH
Dell Command Configure versions prior to 4.2.1 contain an uncontrolled search path vulnerability. A locally authenticated malicious user could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symlink to a target file, allowing the attacker to overwrite or corrupt a specified file on the system.
CVE-2013-4116 1 Node Packaged Modules Project 1 Node Packaged Modules 2020-10-14 3.3 LOW N/A
lib/npm.js in Node Packaged Modules (npm) before 1.3.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable names that are created when unpacking archives.
