| CVE-2015-7724 | 1 Amd | 1 Fglrx-driver | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| AMD fglrx-driver before 15.9 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack. NOTE: This vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-7723. | ||||
| CVE-2014-4978 | 2 Fedoraproject, Rawstudio | 2 Fedora, Rawstudio | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The rs_filter_graph function in librawstudio/rs-filter.c in rawstudio might allow local users to truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /tmp/rs-filter-graph.png or (2) /tmp/rs-filter-graph. | ||||
| CVE-2015-6240 | 1 Redhat | 1 Ansible | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The chroot, jail, and zone connection plugins in ansible before 1.9.2 allow local users to escape a restricted environment via a symlink attack. | ||||
| CVE-2015-3211 | 1 Php-fpm | 1 Php-fpm | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| php-fpm allows local users to write to or create arbitrary files via a symlink attack. | ||||
| CVE-2017-12172 | 2 Postgresql, Redhat | 4 Postgresql, Enterprise Linux, Rhel Software Collections and 1 more | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| PostgreSQL 10.x before 10.1, 9.6.x before 9.6.6, 9.5.x before 9.5.10, 9.4.x before 9.4.15, 9.3.x before 9.3.20, and 9.2.x before 9.2.24 runs under a non-root operating system account, and database superusers have effective ability to run arbitrary code under that system account. PostgreSQL provides a script for starting the database server during system boot. Packages of PostgreSQL for many operating systems provide their own, packager-authored startup implementations. Several implementations use a log file name that the database superuser can replace with a symbolic link. As root, they open(), chmod() and/or chown() this log file name. This often suffices for the database superuser to escalate to root privileges when root starts the server. | ||||
| CVE-2017-7501 | 1 Rpm | 1 Rpm | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| It was found that versions of rpm before 4.13.0.2 use temporary files with predictable names when installing an RPM. An attacker with ability to write in a directory where files will be installed could create symbolic links to an arbitrary location and modify content, and possibly permissions to arbitrary files, which could be used for denial of service or possibly privilege escalation. | ||||
| CVE-2017-7418 | 1 Proftpd | 1 Proftpd | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| ProFTPD before 1.3.5e and 1.3.6 before 1.3.6rc5 controls whether the home directory of a user could contain a symbolic link through the AllowChrootSymlinks configuration option, but checks only the last path component when enforcing AllowChrootSymlinks. Attackers with local access could bypass the AllowChrootSymlinks control by replacing a path component (other than the last one) with a symbolic link. The threat model includes an attacker who is not granted full filesystem access by a hosting provider, but can reconfigure the home directory of an FTP user. | ||||
| CVE-2015-3149 | 1 Redhat | 8 Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Hpc Node and 5 more | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2015-5701 | 1 Tug | 1 Texlive | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| mktexlsr revision 36855, and before revision 36626 as packaged in texlive allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. NOTE: this vulnerability exists due to the reversion of a fix of CVE-2015-5700. | ||||
| CVE-2015-8860 | 1 Nodejs | 1 Node.js | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The tar package before 2.0.0 for Node.js allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in an archive. | ||||
| CVE-2016-10089 | 1 Nagios | 1 Nagios | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| Nagios 4.3.2 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a hard link attack on the Nagios init script file, related to CVE-2016-8641. | ||||
| CVE-2016-4679 | 1 Apple | 4 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Tvos and 1 more | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2016-1255 | 2 Canonical, Debian | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Postgresql-common | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| The pg_ctlcluster script in postgresql-common package in Debian wheezy before 134wheezy5, in Debian jessie before 165+deb8u2, in Debian unstable before 178, in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS before 129ubuntu1.2, in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS before 154ubuntu1.1, in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS before 173ubuntu0.1, in Ubuntu 17.04 before 179ubuntu0.1, and in Ubuntu 17.10 before 184ubuntu1.1 allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on a logfile in /var/log/postgresql. | ||||
| CVE-2016-10374 | 1 Perltidy Project | 1 Perltidy | 2025-04-20 | 5.5 Medium |
| perltidy through 20160302, as used by perlcritic, check-all-the-things, and other software, relies on the current working directory for certain output files and does not have a symlink-attack protection mechanism, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by creating a symlink, as demonstrated by creating a perltidy.ERR symlink that the victim cannot delete. | ||||
| CVE-2024-0206 | 2 Microsoft, Trellix | 2 Windows, Anti-malware Engine | 2025-04-17 | 7.1 High |
| A symbolic link manipulation vulnerability in Trellix Anti-Malware Engine prior to the January 2024 release allows an authenticated local user to potentially gain an escalation of privileges. This was achieved by adding an entry to the registry under the Trellix ENS registry folder with a symbolic link to files that the user wouldn't normally have permission to. After a scan, the Engine would follow the links and remove the files | ||||
| CVE-2022-2897 | 1 Measuresoft | 2 Scadapro Client, Scadapro Server | 2025-04-16 | 7.8 High |
| Measuresoft ScadaPro Server and Client (All Versions) do not properly resolve links before file access; this could allow privilege escalation.. | ||||
| CVE-2022-2898 | 1 Measuresoft | 2 Scadapro Client, Scadapro Server | 2025-04-16 | 6.1 Medium |
| Measuresoft ScadaPro Server and Client (All Versions) do not properly resolve links before file access; this could allow a denial-of-service condition. | ||||
| CVE-2022-45412 | 5 Apple, Google, Linux and 2 more | 11 Macos, Android, Linux Kernel and 8 more | 2025-04-15 | 8.8 High |
| When resolving a symlink such as <code>file:///proc/self/fd/1</code>, an error message may be produced where the symlink was resolved to a string containing unitialized memory in the buffer. <br>*This bug only affects Thunderbird on Unix-based operated systems (Android, Linux, MacOS). Windows is unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. | ||||
| CVE-2022-45798 | 2 Microsoft, Trendmicro | 2 Windows, Apex One | 2025-04-15 | 7.8 High |
| A link following vulnerability in the Damage Cleanup Engine component of Trend Micro Apex One and Trend Micro Apex One as a Service could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges by creating a symbolic link and abusing the service to delete a file. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. | ||||
