CVSS v3.1 |
| editcomment in crip 3.7 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/*.tag.tmp temporary file. |
| CoolKey 1.1.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files in the /tmp/.pk11ipc1/ directory. |
| GForge 4.5.14, 4.7 rc2, and 4.8.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on authorized_keys files in users' home directories, related to deb-specific/ssh_dump_update.pl and cronjobs/cvs-cron/ssh_create.php. |
| Dovecot before 1.0.11, when configured to use mail_extra_groups to allow Dovecot to create dotlocks in /var/mail, might allow local users to read sensitive mail files for other users, or modify files or directories that are writable by group, via a symlink attack. |
| 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. |
| The (1) tramp-make-temp-file and (2) tramp-make-tramp-temp-file functions in Tramp 2.1.10 extension for Emacs, and possibly earlier 2.1.x versions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files. |
| mailscanner 4.68.8 and other versions before 4.74.16-1 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on certain temporary files used by the (1) f-prot-autoupdate, (2) clamav-autoupdate, (3) avast-autoupdate, and (4) f-prot-6-autoupdate scripts in /etc/MailScanner/autoupdate/; the (5) bitdefender-wrapper, (6) kaspersky-wrapper, (7) clamav-wrapper, and (8) rav-wrapper scripts in /etc/MailScanner/wrapper/; the (9) Quarantine.pm, (10) TNEF.pm, (11) MessageBatch.pm, (12) WorkArea.pm, and (13) SA.pm scripts in /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/; (14) /usr/sbin/MailScanner; and (15) scripts that load the /etc/MailScanner/mailscanner.conf.with.mcp configuration file. |
| scratchbox2 1.99.0.24 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (a) /tmp/dpkg.#####.tmp, (b) /tmp/missing_deps.#####, and (c) /tmp/sb2-pkg-chk.$tstamp.##### temporary files, related to the (1) dpkg-checkbuilddeps and (2) sb2-check-pkg-mappings scripts. |
| postfix_groups.pl in Postfix 2.5.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/postfix_groups.stdout, (2) /tmp/postfix_groups.stderr, and (3) /tmp/postfix_groups.message temporary files. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, stating "This is not a real issue ... users would have to edit a script under /usr/lib to enable it. |
| The postfix.postinst script in the Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu postfix 2.5.5 package grants the postfix user write access to /var/spool/postfix/pid, which might allow local users to conduct symlink attacks that overwrite arbitrary files. |
| passwdehd in libpam-mount 0.43 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/passwdehd.##### temporary file. |
| bash-doc 3.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/cb#####.? temporary file, related to the (1) aliasconv.sh, (2) aliasconv.bash, and (3) cshtobash scripts. |
| 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. |
| rc.sysinit in initscripts 8.12-8.21 and 8.56.15-0.1 on rPath allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a directory under (1) /var/lock or (2) /var/run. NOTE: this issue exists because of a race condition in an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-3524. NOTE: exploitation may require an unusual scenario in which rc.sysinit is executed other than at boot time. |
| gccross in dpkg-cross 2.3.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the tmp/gccross2.log temporary file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, stating that "There is no sense in this bug - the script ... is called under specific cross-building environments within a chroot. |
| apertium 3.0.7 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (a) /tmp/#####.lex.cc, (b) /tmp/#####.deformat.l, (c) /tmp/#####.reformat.l, (d) /tmp/#####docxorig, (e) /tmp/#####docxsalida.zip, (f) /tmp/#####xlsxembed, (g) /tmp/#####xlsxorig, and (h) /tmp/#####xslxsalida.zip temporary files, related to the (1) apertium-gen-deformat, (2) apertium-gen-reformat, and (3) apertium scripts. |
| cp, when running with an option to preserve symlinks on multiple OSes, allows local, user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack using crafted directories containing multiple source files that are copied to the same destination. |
| vccleaner in VideoCache 1.9.2 allows local users with Squid proxy user privileges to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /var/log/videocache/vccleaner.log. |
| maps/Info/combine.pl in CrossFire crossfire-maps 1.11.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. |
| master-filter in printfilters-ppd 2.13 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/filter.debug temporary file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, stating 'this package does not have " possibility of attack with the help of symlinks"' |
