CVE-2008-4579 1 Gentoo 2 Cman, Fence 2023-02-12 1.9 LOW N/A
The (1) fence_apc and (2) fence_apc_snmp programs, as used in (a) fence 2.02.00-r1 and possibly (b) cman, when running in verbose mode, allows local users to append to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the apclog temporary file.
CVE-2008-3521 1 Jasper Project 1 Jasper 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH N/A
Race condition in the jas_stream_tmpfile function in libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer 1.900.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (program exit) by creating the appropriate tmp.XXXXXXXXXX temporary file, which causes Jasper to exit. NOTE: this was originally reported as a symlink issue, but this was incorrect. NOTE: some vendors dispute the severity of this issue, but it satisfies CVE's requirements for inclusion.
CVE-2009-0356 1 Mozilla 2 Firefox, Seamonkey 2023-02-12 5.1 MEDIUM N/A
Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.6 and SeaMonkey do not block links to the (1) about:plugins and (2) about:config URIs from .desktop files, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and execute arbitrary code with chrome privileges via vectors involving the URL field in a Desktop Entry section of a .desktop file, related to representation of about: URIs as jar:file:// URIs. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4582.
CVE-2008-1078 2 Gentoo, Rpath 2 Linux, Rpath Linux 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH N/A
expn in the am-utils and net-fs packages for Gentoo, rPath Linux, and other distributions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the expn[PID] temporary file. NOTE: this is the same issue as CVE-2003-0308.1.

CVE-2009-1893 2 Isc, Redhat 2 Dhcp, Enterprise Linux 2023-02-12 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
The configtest function in the Red Hat dhcpd init script for DHCP 3.0.1 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified temporary file, related to the "dhcpd -t" command.
CVE-2015-7529 3 Canonical, Redhat, Sos Project 8 Ubuntu Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Server and 5 more 2023-02-12 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH

CVE-2015-5273 1 Redhat 5 Automatic Bug Reporting Tool, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Hpc Node and 2 more 2023-02-12 3.6 LOW N/A
The abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache help program in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) before 2.7.1 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on unpacked.cpio in a pre-created directory with a predictable name in /var/tmp.
CVE-2015-3149 1 Redhat 7 Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Hpc Node, Enterprise Linux Hpc Node Eus and 4 more 2023-02-12 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
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-2015-1869 1 Redhat 1 Automatic Bug Reporting Tool 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The default event handling scripts in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) allow local users to gain privileges as demonstrated by a symlink attack on a var_log_messages file.
CVE-2014-3537 3 Apple, Canonical, Fedoraproject 3 Cups, Ubuntu Linux, Fedora 2023-02-12 1.2 LOW N/A
The web interface in CUPS before 1.7.4 allows local users in the lp group to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in /var/cache/cups/rss/.
CVE-2014-3486 1 Redhat 1 Cloudforms 3.0 Management Engine 2023-02-12 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
The (1) shell_exec function in lib/util/MiqSshUtilV1.rb and (2) temp_cmd_file function in lib/util/MiqSshUtilV2.rb in Red Hat CloudForms 3.0 Management Engine (CFME) before 5.2.4.2 allow local users to execute arbitrary commands via a symlink attack on a temporary file with a predictable name.
CVE-2014-0027 1 Cmu 1 Flite 2023-02-12 3.3 LOW N/A
The play_wave_from_socket function in audio/auserver.c in Flite 1.4 allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/awb.wav. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
CVE-2013-6456 2 Fedoraproject, Redhat 2 Fedora, Libvirt 2023-02-12 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
The LXC driver (lxc/lxc_driver.c) in libvirt 1.0.1 through 1.2.1 allows local users to (1) delete arbitrary host devices via the virDomainDeviceDettach API and a symlink attack on /dev in the container; (2) create arbitrary nodes (mknod) via the virDomainDeviceAttach API and a symlink attack on /dev in the container; and cause a denial of service (shutdown or reboot host OS) via the (3) virDomainShutdown or (4) virDomainReboot API and a symlink attack on /dev/initctl in the container, related to "paths under /proc/$PID/root" and the virInitctlSetRunLevel function.
CVE-2018-14651 3 Debian, Gluster, Redhat 3 Debian Linux, Glusterfs, Enterprise Linux 2023-02-12 6.5 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
It was found that the fix for CVE-2018-10927, CVE-2018-10928, CVE-2018-10929, CVE-2018-10930, and CVE-2018-10926 was incomplete. A remote, authenticated attacker could use one of these flaws to execute arbitrary code, create arbitrary files, or cause denial of service on glusterfs server nodes via symlinks to relative paths.
CVE-2018-1063 2 Redhat, Selinux Project 2 Enterprise Linux, Selinux 2023-02-12 3.3 LOW 4.4 MEDIUM
Context relabeling of filesystems is vulnerable to symbolic link attack, allowing a local, unprivileged malicious entity to change the SELinux context of an arbitrary file to a context with few restrictions. This only happens when the relabeling process is done, usually when taking SELinux state from disabled to enable (permissive or enforcing). The issue was found in policycoreutils 2.5-11.

CVE-2016-8641 1 Nagios 1 Nagios 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in nagios 4.2.x that occurs in daemon-init.in when creating necessary files and insecurely changing the ownership afterwards. It's possible for the local attacker to create symbolic links before the files are to be created and possibly escalating the privileges with the ownership change.
