crontab.c in crontab in FreeBSD and Apple Mac OS X allows local users to (1) determine the existence of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/crontab.XXXXXXXXXX temporary file and (2) perform MD5 checksum comparisons on arbitrary pairs of files via two symlink attacks on /tmp/crontab.XXXXXXXXXX temporary files.
CVE-2011-3869 2 Puppet, Puppetlabs 2 Puppet, Puppet 2025-04-11 6.3 MEDIUM N/A

libs/updater.py in GoLismero 0.6.3, and other versions before Git revision 2b3bb43d6867, as used in backtrack and possibly other products, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on GoLismero-controlled files, as demonstrated using Admin/changes.dat.
CVE-2009-5079 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) gendef.sh, (2) doc/fixinfo.sh, and (3) contrib/gdiffmk/tests/runtests.in scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a gro#####.tmp or /tmp/##### temporary file.
CVE-2011-0754 2 Microsoft, Php 2 Windows, Php 2025-04-11 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
The SplFileInfo::getType function in the Standard PHP Library (SPL) extension in PHP before 5.3.4 on Windows does not properly detect symbolic links, which might make it easier for local users to conduct symlink attacks by leveraging cross-platform differences in the stat structure, related to lack of a FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT check.
CVE-2010-3847 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-11 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
elf/dl-load.c in ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.11.2, and 2.12.x through 2.12.1, does not properly handle a value of $ORIGIN for the LD_AUDIT environment variable, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted dynamic shared object (DSO) located in an arbitrary directory.
CVE-2011-0461 1 Opensuse 1 Opensuse 2025-04-11 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
/etc/init.d/boot.localfs in the aaa_base package before 11.2-43.48.1 in SUSE openSUSE 11.2, and before 11.3-8.7.1 in openSUSE 11.3, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /dev/shm/mtab.

HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) through 3.12.4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/hpcupsfilterc_#.bmp, (2) /tmp/hpcupsfilterk_#.bmp, (3) /tmp/hpcups_job#.out, (4) /tmp/hpijs_#####.out, or (5) /tmp/hpps_job#.out temporary file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2722.
CVE-2010-0789 1 Fuse 1 Fuse 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A

NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1072.
CVE-2013-1495 1 Oracle 1 Support Tools 2025-04-11 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
asr in Oracle Auto Service Request in Oracle Support Tools before 4.3.2 allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a predictable filename in /tmp.
