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-2019-11230 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-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-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-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-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-2019-9949 1 Westerndigital 18 My Cloud, My Cloud Dl2100, My Cloud Dl2100 Firmware and 15 more 2019-05-29 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-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-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/.
CVE-2013-1976 1 Redhat 2 Enterprise Linux, Jboss Enterprise Web Server 2019-04-22 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
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-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-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-2014-4480 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-2014-4372 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-2014-1272 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.
