CVE-2018-17567 1 Jekyllrb 1 Jekyll 2023-11-07 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Jekyll through 3.6.2, 3.7.x through 3.7.3, and 3.8.x through 3.8.3 allows attackers to access arbitrary files by specifying a symlink in the "include" key in the "_config.yml" file.
CVE-2017-8108 1 Cisofy 1 Lynis 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Unspecified tests in Lynis before 2.5.0 allow local users to write to arbitrary files or possibly gain privileges via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2017-7501 1 Rpm 1 Rpm 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
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-2017-5188 1 Opensuse 1 Open Build Service 2023-11-07 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
The bs_worker code in open build service before 20170320 followed relative symlinks, allowing reading of files outside of the package source directory during build, allowing leakage of private information.
CVE-2017-18078 3 Debian, Opensuse, Systemd Project 3 Debian Linux, Leap, Systemd 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
systemd-tmpfiles in systemd before 237 attempts to support ownership/permission changes on hardlinked files even if the fs.protected_hardlinks sysctl is turned off, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via vectors involving a hard link to a file for which the user lacks write access, as demonstrated by changing the ownership of the /etc/passwd file.
CVE-2016-9602 2 Debian, Qemu 2 Debian Linux, Qemu 2023-11-07 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Qemu before version 2.9 is vulnerable to an improper link following when built with the VirtFS. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to access host file system beyond the shared folder and potentially escalating their privileges on a host.
CVE-2016-9595 2 Redhat, Theforeman 3 Satellite, Satellite Capsule, Katello 2023-11-07 3.6 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in katello-debug before 3.4.0 where certain scripts and log files 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-2016-1247 4 Canonical, Debian, F5 and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Nginx and 1 more 2023-11-07 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The nginx package before 1.6.2-5+deb8u3 on Debian jessie, the nginx packages before 1.4.6-1ubuntu3.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, before 1.10.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and before 1.10.1-0ubuntu1.1 on Ubuntu 16.10, and the nginx ebuild before 1.10.2-r3 on Gentoo allow local users with access to the web server user account to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the error log.
CVE-2015-3627 1 Docker 2 Docker, Libcontainer 2023-11-07 7.2 HIGH N/A
Libcontainer and Docker Engine before 1.6.1 opens the file-descriptor passed to the pid-1 process before performing the chroot, which allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack in an image.
CVE-2015-0796 1 Opensuse 1 Open Buildservice 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
In open buildservice 2.6 before 2.6.3, 2.5 before 2.5.7 and 2.4 before 2.4.8 the source service patch application could generate non-standard files like symlinks or device nodes, which could allow buildservice users to break of confinement or cause denial of service attacks on the source service.
CVE-2015-0794 2 Dracut Project, Opensuse 2 Dracut, Opensuse 2023-11-07 3.6 LOW N/A
modules.d/90crypt/module-setup.sh in the dracut package before 037-17.30.1 in openSUSE 13.2 allows local users to have unspecified impact via a symlink attack on /tmp/dracut_block_uuid.map.
CVE-2014-5045 2 Linux, Redhat 4 Linux Kernel, Enterprise Linux Eus, Enterprise Linux Server Aus and 1 more 2023-11-07 6.2 MEDIUM N/A
The mountpoint_last function in fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before 3.15.8 does not properly maintain a certain reference count during attempts to use the umount system call in conjunction with a symlink, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via the umount program.
CVE-2014-3981 1 Php 1 Php 2023-11-07 3.3 LOW N/A
acinclude.m4, as used in the configure script in PHP 5.5.13 and earlier, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/phpglibccheck file.
CVE-2014-3627 1 Apache 1 Hadoop 2023-11-07 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The YARN NodeManager daemon in Apache Hadoop 0.23.0 through 0.23.11 and 2.x before 2.5.2, when using Kerberos authentication, allows remote cluster users to change the permissions of certain files to world-readable via a symlink attack in a public tar archive, which is not properly handled during localization, related to distributed cache.
CVE-2014-0243 1 Check Mk Project 1 Check Mk 2023-11-07 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
Check_MK through 1.2.5i2p1 allows local users to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack to a file in /var/lib/check_mk_agent/job.
CVE-2014-0027 1 Cmu 1 Flite 2023-11-07 3.3 LOW N/A
The play_wave_from_socket function in audio/auserver.c in Flite 1.4 allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/awb.wav. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
CVE-2013-1429 2 Canonical, Debian 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Lintian 2023-11-07 4.3 MEDIUM 6.3 MEDIUM
Lintian before 2.5.12 allows remote attackers to gather information about the "host" system using crafted symlinks.
CVE-2013-1423 1 Fusionforge 1 Fusionforge 2023-11-07 6.9 MEDIUM N/A

CVE-2013-0927 1 Google 1 Chrome Os 2023-11-07 7.5 HIGH N/A
Google Chrome OS before 26.0.1410.57 relies on a Pango pango-utils.c read_config implementation that loads the contents of the .pangorc file in the user's home directory, and the file referenced by the PANGO_RC_FILE environment variable, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted configuration data.
CVE-2012-1093 1 Debian 2 Debian Linux, X11-common 2023-11-07 6.9 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
The init script in the Debian x11-common package before 1:7.6+12 is vulnerable to a symlink attack that can lead to a privilege escalation during package installation.
