CVE-2010-1183 1 Sun 1 Solaris 2025-04-11 N/A
Certain patch-installation scripts in Oracle Solaris allow local users to append data to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/CLEANUP temporary file, related to use of Update Manager.
CVE-2010-1160 1 Gnu 1 Nano 2025-04-11 N/A
GNU nano before 2.2.4 does not verify whether a file has been changed before it is overwritten in a file-save operation, which allows local user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an attacker-owned file that is being edited by the victim.

pam_motd (aka the MOTD module) in libpam-modules before 1.1.0-2ubuntu1.1 in PAM on Ubuntu 9.10 and libpam-modules before 1.1.1-2ubuntu5 in PAM on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS allows local users to change the ownership of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on .cache in a user's home directory, related to "user file stamps" and the motd.legal-notice file.
CVE-2012-4676 1 Google 1 Tunnelblick 2025-04-11 N/A
The errorExitIfAttackViaString function in Tunnelblick 3.3beta20 and earlier allows local users to delete arbitrary files by constructing a (1) symlink or (2) hard link, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-3485.
CVE-2010-2053 1 Emesene 1 Emesene 2025-04-11 N/A
emesenelib/ProfileManager.py in emesene before 1.6.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the emsnpic temporary file.

Folder Manager in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8, and 10.6 before 10.6.4, allows local users to delete arbitrary folders via a symlink attack in conjunction with an unmount operation on a crafted volume, related to the Cleanup At Startup folder.
CVE-2022-36943 1 Ssziparchive Project 1 Ssziparchive 2025-04-10 8.1 High
SSZipArchive versions 2.5.3 and older contain an arbitrary file write vulnerability due to lack of sanitization on paths which are symlinks. SSZipArchive will overwrite files on the filesystem when opening a malicious ZIP containing a symlink as the first item.
CVE-2008-0167 2 Debian, Gforge 2 Debian Linux, Gforge 2025-04-09 N/A
The write_array_file function in utils/include.pl in GForge 4.5.14 updates configuration files by truncating them to zero length and then writing new data, which might allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions or have unspecified other impact in opportunistic circumstances.
CVE-2008-1684 1 Sun 1 Solaris 2025-04-09 N/A
inetd on Sun Solaris 10, when debug logging is enabled, allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /var/tmp/inetd.log temporary file.
CVE-2008-0163 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-04-09 N/A
Linux kernel 2.6, when using vservers, allows local users to access resources of other vservers via a symlink attack in /proc.
CVE-2007-6208 1 Claws Mail 1 Claws Mail Tools 2025-04-09 N/A
sylprint.pl in claws mail tools (claws-mail-tools) allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the sylprint.[USER].[PID] temporary file.
CVE-2007-6061 1 Audacityteam 1 Audacity 2025-04-09 N/A
Audacity 1.3.2 creates a temporary directory with a predictable name without checking for previous existence of that directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (recording deadlock) by creating the directory before Audacity is run. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack.
CVE-2008-4993 2 Redhat, Xen 2 Enterprise Linux, Xen 2025-04-09 N/A
qemu-dm.debug in Xen 3.2.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/args temporary file.
CVE-2007-5495 2 Redhat, Selinux 3 Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Setroubleshoot 2025-04-09 N/A
sealert in setroubleshoot 2.0.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the sealert.log temporary file.
CVE-2007-5839 1 Bitchx 1 Bitchx 2025-04-09 N/A
The e_hostname function in commands.c in BitchX 1.1a allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files when using the (1) HOSTNAME or (2) IRCHOST command.
CVE-2009-4454 1 Saini 1 Videocache 2025-04-09 N/A

CVE-2009-4030 3 Mysql, Oracle, Redhat 3 Mysql, Mysql, Enterprise Linux 2025-04-09 N/A
MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.41 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL data home directory, related to incorrect calculation of the mysql_unpacked_real_data_home value. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-2079.
CVE-2007-5718 2 Debian, Vobcopy 2 Debian Linux, Vobcopy 2025-04-09 N/A
vobcopy 0.5.14 allows local users to append data to an arbitrary file, or create an arbitrary new file, via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/vobcopy.bla or (2) /tmp/vobcopy_0.5.14.log temporary file.
