CVE-2015-3629 1 Docker 1 Libcontainer 2018-08-13 7.2 HIGH N/A
Libcontainer 1.6.0, as used in Docker Engine, allows local users to escape containerization ("mount namespace breakout") and write to arbitrary file on the host system via a symlink attack in an image when respawning a container.

CVE-2018-5107 2 Canonical, Mozilla 2 Ubuntu Linux, Firefox 2018-06-25 5.0 MEDIUM 5.3 MEDIUM
The printing process can bypass local access protections to read files available through symlinks, bypassing local file restrictions. The printing process requires files in a specific format so arbitrary data cannot be read but it is possible that some local file information could be exposed. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.

CVE-2018-10722 1 Cylance 1 Cylanceprotect 2018-06-13 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
In Cylance CylancePROTECT before 1470, an unprivileged local user can obtain SYSTEM privileges because users have Modify access to the %PROGRAMFILES%\Cylance\Desktop\log folder, the CyUpdate process grants users Modify access to new files created in this folder, and a new file can be a symlink chain to a pathname of an arbitrary DLL that CyUpdate uses.
CVE-2018-10380 3 Debian, Kde, Opensuse 3 Debian Linux, Plasma, Leap 2018-06-12 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
