The (1) tomcat5, (2) tomcat6, and (3) tomcat7 init scripts, as used in the RPM distribution of Tomcat for JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1.0.2 and 2.0.0, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, allow local users to change the ownership of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (a) tomcat5-initd.log, (b) tomcat6-initd.log, (c) catalina.out, or (d) tomcat7-initd.log.
CVE-2016-4679 1 Apple 4 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Tvos and 1 more 2019-03-22 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.1 is affected. macOS before 10.12.1 is affected. tvOS before 10.0.1 is affected. watchOS before 3.1 is affected. The issue involves the "libarchive" component, which allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a crafted archive containing a symlink.
CVE-2014-4372 1 Apple 2 Iphone Os, Tvos 2019-03-08 3.6 LOW N/A
syslogd in the syslog subsystem in Apple iOS before 8 and Apple TV before 7 allows local users to change the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified file.
CVE-2014-4480 1 Apple 2 Iphone Os, Tvos 2019-03-08 10.0 HIGH N/A
Directory traversal vulnerability in afc in AppleFileConduit in Apple iOS before 8.1.3 and Apple TV before 7.0.3 allows attackers to access unintended filesystem locations by creating a symlink.
CVE-2014-1272 1 Apple 2 Iphone Os, Tvos 2019-03-08 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
CrashHouseKeeping in Crash Reporting in Apple iOS before 7.1 and Apple TV before 6.1 allows local users to change arbitrary file permissions by leveraging a symlink.
CVE-2018-12026 1 Phusion 1 Passenger 2019-03-08 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
During the spawning of a malicious Passenger-managed application, SpawningKit in Phusion Passenger 5.3.x before 5.3.2 allows such applications to replace key files or directories in the spawning communication directory with symlinks. This then could result in arbitrary reads and writes, which in turn can result in information disclosure and privilege escalation.
CVE-2019-8372 1 Lg 1 Lha.sys 2019-02-26 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
The LHA.sys driver before 1.1.1811.2101 in LG Device Manager exposes functionality that allows low-privileged users to read and write arbitrary physical memory via specially crafted IOCTL requests and elevate system privileges. This occurs because the device object has an associated symbolic link and an open DACL.
CVE-2016-9566 1 Nagios 1 Nagios 2018-12-25 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
base/logging.c in Nagios Core before 4.2.4 allows local users with access to an account in the nagios group to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the log file. NOTE: this can be leveraged by remote attackers using CVE-2016-9565.
CVE-2009-1297 2 Novell, Opensuse 2 Suse Linux, Opensuse 2018-10-30 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
iscsi_discovery in open-iscsi in SUSE openSUSE 10.3 through 11.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) 10 SP2 and 11, and other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified temporary file that has a predictable name.
CVE-2015-1196 3 Gnu, Opensuse, Oracle 3 Patch, Opensuse, Solaris 2018-10-30 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
GNU patch 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch file.
CVE-2016-7619 1 Apple 3 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Watchos 2018-10-30 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
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-2011-0460 2 Kbd-project, Opensuse 2 Kbd, Opensuse 2018-10-30 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
The init script in kbd, possibly 1.14.1 and earlier, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /dev/shm/defkeymap.map.
CVE-2014-2893 2 Llvm, Opensuse 2 Clang, Opensuse 2018-10-30 1.9 LOW N/A
The GetHTMLRunDir function in the scan-build utility in Clang 3.5 and earlier allows local users to obtain sensitive information or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary directories with predictable names.
CVE-2011-0461 1 Opensuse 1 Opensuse 2018-10-30 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
/etc/init.d/boot.localfs in the aaa_base package before 11.2-43.48.1 in SUSE openSUSE 11.2, and before 11.3-8.7.1 in openSUSE 11.3, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /dev/shm/mtab.
CVE-2007-5200 1 Opensuse 1 Opensuse 2018-10-30 3.3 LOW N/A
hugin, as used on various operating systems including SUSE openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the hugin_debug_optim_results.txt temporary file.
CVE-2014-2524 4 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Mageia and 1 more 4 Fedora, Readline, Mageia and 1 more 2018-10-30 3.3 LOW N/A
The _rl_tropen function in util.c in GNU readline before 6.3 patch 3 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /var/tmp/rltrace.[PID] file.
CVE-2014-1934 2 Opensuse, Travis Shirk 2 Opensuse, Eyed3 2018-10-30 3.3 LOW N/A
tag.py in eyeD3 (aka python-eyed3) 7.0.3, 0.6.18, and earlier for Python allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

The (1) extract_keys_from_pdf and (2) fill_pdf functions in pdf_ext.py in logilab-commons before 0.61.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly have other unspecified impact via a symlink attack on /tmp/toto.fdf.
CVE-2015-4156 2 Gnu, Opensuse 2 Parallel, Opensuse 2018-10-30 3.6 LOW N/A
GNU Parallel before 20150522 (Nepal), when using (1) --cat or (2) --fifo with --sshlogin, allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2015-7758 2 Gummi Project, Opensuse 3 Gummi, Leap, Opensuse 2018-10-30 2.1 LOW 3.3 LOW
Gummi 0.6.5 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary dot file that uses the name of an existing file and a (1) .aux, (2) .log, (3) .out, (4) .pdf, or (5) .toc extension for the file name, as demonstrated by .thesis.tex.aux.
