CVE-2015-5705 2 Devscripts Devel Team, Fedoraproject 2 Devscripts, Fedora 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Argument injection vulnerability in devscripts before 2.15.7 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a crafted symlink and crafted filename.
CVE-2015-7723 1 Amd 1 Fglrx-driver 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
AMD fglrx-driver before 15.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack.
CVE-2017-12258 1 Cisco 1 Unified Communications Manager 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 6.1 MEDIUM
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-2015-7724 1 Amd 1 Fglrx-driver 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
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-2017-15357 1 Arqbackup 1 Arq 2025-04-20 6.9 MEDIUM 7.4 HIGH
The setpermissions function in the auto-updater in Arq before 5.9.7 for Mac allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the updater binary itself.
CVE-2015-3156 1 Openstack 1 Trove 2025-04-20 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
The _write_config function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/mongodb/service.py, reset_configuration function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/postgresql/service/config.py, write_config function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/redis/service.py, _write_mycnf function in trove/guestagent/datastore/mysql/service.py, InnoBackupEx::_run_prepare function in trove/guestagent/strategies/restore/mysql_impl.py, InnoBackupEx::cmd function in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, MySQLDump::cmd in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, InnoBackupExIncremental::cmd function in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, _get_actual_db_status function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/cassandra/system.py and trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/cassandra/service.py, and multiple class CbBackup methods in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/experimental/couchbase_impl.py in Openstack DBaaS (aka Trove) as packaged in Openstack before 2015.1.0 (aka Kilo) allows local users to write to configuration files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2017-1000115 3 Debian, Mercurial, Redhat 8 Debian Linux, Mercurial, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 5 more 2025-04-20 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-2017-12172 1 Postgresql 1 Postgresql 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 6.7 MEDIUM
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-2017-16611 3 Canonical, Debian, X 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Libxfont 2025-04-20 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
In libXfont before 1.5.4 and libXfont2 before 2.0.3, a local attacker can open (but not read) files on the system as root, triggering tape rewinds, watchdogs, or similar mechanisms that can be triggered by opening files.
CVE-2015-7529 3 Canonical, Redhat, Sos Project 8 Ubuntu Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Server and 5 more 2025-04-20 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
sosreport in SoS 3.x allows local users to obtain sensitive information from sosreport files or gain privileges via a symlink attack on an archive file in a temporary directory, as demonstrated by sosreport-$hostname-$date.tar in /tmp/sosreport-$hostname-$date.
CVE-2017-7549 2 Openstack, Redhat 2 Instack-undercloud, Openstack 2025-04-20 3.3 LOW 6.4 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in instack-undercloud 7.2.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Platform Pike, 6.1.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Platform Oacta, 5.3.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Newton, where pre-install and security policy scripts used insecure temporary files. A local user could exploit this flaw to conduct a symbolic-link attack, allowing them to overwrite the contents of arbitrary files.
CVE-2016-7619 1 Apple 3 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Watchos 2025-04-20 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "libarchive" component, which allows local users to write to arbitrary files via vectors related to symlinks.
CVE-2014-4978 2 Fedoraproject, Rawstudio 2 Fedora, Rawstudio 2025-04-20 3.6 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
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-2015-3315 1 Redhat 7 Automatic Bug Reporting Tool, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Hpc Node and 4 more 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) allows local users to read, change the ownership of, or have other unspecified impact on arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /var/tmp/abrt/*/maps, (2) /tmp/jvm-*/hs_error.log, (3) /proc/*/exe, (4) /etc/os-release in a chroot, or (5) an unspecified root directory related to librpm.
CVE-2017-7418 1 Proftpd 1 Proftpd 2025-04-20 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
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-2017-6981 1 Apple 2 Iphone Os, Mac Os X 2025-04-20 9.3 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.5 is affected. The issue involves the "iBooks" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app that uses symlinks.
CVE-2016-9774 3 Apache, Canonical, Debian 3 Tomcat, Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The postinst script in the tomcat6 package before 6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb7u4 on Debian wheezy, before 6.0.35-1ubuntu3.9 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; the tomcat7 package before 7.0.28-4+deb7u8 on Debian wheezy, before 7.0.56-3+deb8u6 on Debian jessie, before 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, and 16.10; and the tomcat8 package before 8.0.14-1+deb8u5 on Debian jessie, before 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, before 8.0.37-1ubuntu0.1 on Ubuntu 16.10, and before 8.0.38-2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 17.04 might allow local users with access to the tomcat account to obtain sensitive information or gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the Catalina localhost directory.
CVE-2016-6253 1 Netbsd 1 Netbsd 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
mail.local in NetBSD versions 6.0 through 6.0.6, 6.1 through 6.1.5, and 7.0 allows local users to change ownership of or append data to arbitrary files on the target system via a symlink attack on the user mailbox.
CVE-2017-2916 1 Meetcircle 2 Circle With Disney, Circle With Disney Firmware 2025-04-20 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
An exploitable vulnerability exists in the /api/CONFIG/restore functionality of Circle with Disney running firmware 2.0.1. Specially crafted network packets can cause an arbitrary file to be overwritten. An attacker can send an HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
