CVE-2017-15111 1 Keycloak-httpd-client-install Project 1 Keycloak-httpd-client-install 2019-08-06 3.6 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
keycloak-httpd-client-install versions before 0.8 insecurely creates temporary file allowing local attackers to overwrite other files via symbolic link.
CVE-2008-4190 2 Openswan, Xelerance 2 Openswan, Openswan 2019-07-29 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
The IPSEC livetest tool in Openswan 2.4.12 and earlier, and 2.6.x through 2.6.16, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the (1) ipseclive.conn and (2) ipsec.olts.remote.log temporary files. NOTE: in many distributions and the upstream version, this tool has been disabled.
CVE-2019-13228 1 Deepin 1 Deepin-clone 2019-07-27 6.6 MEDIUM 4.7 MEDIUM
deepin-clone before 1.1.3 uses a fixed path /tmp/repo.iso in the BootDoctor::fix() function to download an ISO file, and follows symlinks there. An unprivileged user can prepare a symlink attack there to create or overwrite files in arbitrary file system locations. The content is not attacker controlled. By winning a race condition to replace the /tmp/repo.iso symlink by an attacker controlled ISO file, further privilege escalation may be possible.
CVE-2019-13227 1 Deepin 1 Deepin-clone 2019-07-27 6.6 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
In GUI mode, deepin-clone before 1.1.3 creates a log file at the fixed path /tmp/.deepin-clone.log as root, and follows symlinks there. An unprivileged user can prepare a symlink attack there to create or overwrite files in arbitrary file system locations. The content is not attacker controlled.
CVE-2019-13636 1 Gnu 1 Patch 2019-07-24 5.8 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
In GNU patch through 2.7.6, the following of symlinks is mishandled in certain cases other than input files. This affects inp.c and util.c.
CVE-2019-11230 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2019-07-24 3.6 LOW 4.4 MEDIUM
In Avast Antivirus before 19.4, a local administrator can trick the product into renaming arbitrary files by replacing the Logs\Update.log file with a symlink. The next time the product attempts to write to the log file, the target of the symlink is renamed. This defect can be exploited to rename a critical product file (e.g., AvastSvc.exe), causing the product to fail to start on the next system restart.
CVE-2019-11503 1 Canonical 1 Snapd 2019-07-12 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
snap-confine as included in snapd before 2.39 did not guard against symlink races when performing the chdir() to the current working directory of the calling user, aka a "cwd restore permission bypass."
CVE-2011-3869 2 Puppet, Puppetlabs 2 Puppet, Puppet 2019-07-10 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .k5login file.
CVE-2011-3870 2 Puppet, Puppetlabs 2 Puppet, Puppet 2019-07-10 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x allows local users to modify the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the SSH authorized_keys file.
CVE-2015-1331 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxc 2019-05-31 4.9 MEDIUM N/A
lxclock.c in LXC 1.1.2 and earlier allows local users to create arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /run/lock/lxc/*.
CVE-2015-1335 2 Canonical, Linuxcontainers 2 Ubuntu Linux, Lxc 2019-05-31 7.2 HIGH N/A
lxc-start in lxc before 1.0.8 and 1.1.x before 1.1.4 allows local container administrators to escape AppArmor confinement via a symlink attack on a (1) mount target or (2) bind mount source.
CVE-2019-9949 1 Westerndigital 18 My Cloud, My Cloud Dl2100, My Cloud Dl2100 Firmware and 15 more 2019-05-28 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Western Digital My Cloud Cloud, Mirror Gen2, EX2 Ultra, EX2100, EX4100, DL2100, DL4100, PR2100 and PR4100 before firmware 2.31.183 are affected by a code execution (as root, starting from a low-privilege user session) vulnerability. The cgi-bin/webfile_mgr.cgi file allows arbitrary file write by abusing symlinks. Specifically, this occurs by uploading a tar archive that contains a symbolic link, then uploading another archive that writes a file to the link using the "cgi_untar" command. Other commands might also be susceptible. Code can be executed because the "name" parameter passed to the cgi_unzip command is not sanitized.
CVE-2017-1000115 3 Debian, Mercurial, Redhat 8 Debian Linux, Mercurial, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 5 more 2019-05-10 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Mercurial prior to version 4.3 is vulnerable to a missing symlink check that can malicious repositories to modify files outside the repository
CVE-2018-19637 1 Opensuse 1 Supportutils 2019-05-08 3.6 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
Supportutils, before version 3.1-5.7.1, wrote data to static file /tmp/supp_log, allowing local attackers to overwrite files on systems without symlink protection
CVE-2018-19638 1 Opensuse 1 Supportutils 2019-05-08 3.3 LOW 4.7 MEDIUM
In supportutils, before version 3.1-5.7.1 and if pacemaker is installed on the system, an unprivileged user could have overwritten arbitrary files in the directory that is used by supportutils to collect the log files.
CVE-2019-11502 1 Canonical 1 Snapd 2019-05-02 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
snap-confine in snapd before 2.38 incorrectly set the ownership of a snap application to the uid and gid of the first calling user. Consequently, that user had unintended access to a private /tmp directory.
CVE-2018-17567 1 Jekyllrb 1 Jekyll 2019-04-26 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Jekyll through 3.6.2, 3.7.x through 3.7.3, and 3.8.x through 3.8.3 allows attackers to access arbitrary files by specifying a symlink in the "include" key in the "_config.yml" file.
CVE-2013-2561 2 Openfabrics, Redhat 2 Ibutils, Enterprise Linux 2019-04-22 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
OpenFabrics ibutils 1.5.7 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) ibdiagnet.db, (2) ibdiagnet.fdbs, (3) ibdiagnet_ibis.log, (4) ibdiagnet.log, (5) ibdiagnet.lst, (6) ibdiagnet.mcfdbs, (7) ibdiagnet.pkey, (8) ibdiagnet.psl, (9) ibdiagnet.slvl, or (10) ibdiagnet.sm in /tmp/.
CVE-2014-1859 3 Fedoraproject, Numpy, Redhat 3 Fedora, Numpy, Enterprise Linux 2019-04-22 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
(1) core/tests/test_memmap.py, (2) core/tests/test_multiarray.py, (3) f2py/f2py2e.py, and (4) lib/tests/test_io.py in NumPy before 1.8.1 allow local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2013-2217 3 Jeff Ortel, Opensuse, Redhat 3 Suds, Opensuse, Enterprise Linux 2019-04-22 1.2 LOW N/A
cache.py in Suds 0.4, when tempdir is set to None, allows local users to redirect SOAP queries and possibly have other unspecified impact via a symlink attack on a cache file with a predictable name in /tmp/suds/.
