| 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-2017-8806 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Postgresql | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Postgresql | 2025-04-20 | 5.5 Medium |
| The Debian pg_ctlcluster, pg_createcluster, and pg_upgradecluster scripts, as distributed in the Debian postgresql-common package before 181+deb9u1 for PostgreSQL (and other packages related to Debian and Ubuntu), handled symbolic links insecurely, which could result in local denial of service by overwriting arbitrary files. | ||||
| CVE-2017-9525 | 3 Canonical, Cron Project, Debian | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Cron, Debian Linux | 2025-04-20 | 6.7 Medium |
| In the cron package through 3.0pl1-128 on Debian, and through 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 on Ubuntu, the postinst maintainer script allows for group-crontab-to-root privilege escalation via symlink attacks against unsafe usage of the chown and chmod programs. | ||||
| 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-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-2017-12258 | 1 Cisco | 1 Unified Communications Manager | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| A vulnerability in the web-based UI of Cisco Unified Communications Manager could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute a cross-frame scripting (XFS) attack. The vulnerability exists because the affected software does not provide sufficient protections for HTML inline frames (iframes). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by directing a user of the affected software to an attacker-controlled web page that contains a malicious HTML inline frame. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct click-jacking or other types of client-side browser attacks. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve60993. | ||||
| CVE-2017-16611 | 3 Canonical, Debian, X | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Libxfont | 2025-04-20 | 5.5 Medium |
