| 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-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-2011-2684 | 1 Rkkda | 1 Foo2zjs | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| foo2zjs before 20110722dfsg-3ubuntu1 as packaged in Ubuntu, 20110722dfsg-1 as packaged in Debian unstable, and 20090908dfsg-5.1+squeeze0 as packaged in Debian squeeze create temporary files insecurely, which allows local users to write over arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/foo2zjs. | ||||
| CVE-2017-3265 | 4 Debian, Mariadb, Oracle and 1 more | 11 Debian Linux, Mariadb, Mysql and 8 more | 2025-04-20 | 5.6 Medium |
| Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: Packaging). Supported versions that are affected are 5.5.53 and earlier, 5.6.34 and earlier and 5.7.16 and earlier. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where MySQL Server executes to compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all MySQL Server accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. CVSS v3.0 Base Score 5.6 (Confidentiality and Availability impacts). | ||||

| 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-2015-7723 | 1 Amd | 1 Fglrx-driver | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| AMD fglrx-driver before 15.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack. | ||||

| CVE-2017-16611 | 3 Canonical, Debian, X | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Libxfont | 2025-04-20 | 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-2017-1301 | 1 Ibm | 1 Tivoli Storage Manager | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a local attacker to launch a symlink attack. IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-archive Client creates temporary files insecurely. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link from a temporary file to various files on the system, which could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with elevated privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 125163. | ||||
| CVE-2016-10089 | 1 Nagios | 1 Nagios | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| Nagios 4.3.2 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a hard link attack on the Nagios init script file, related to CVE-2016-8641. | ||||
| 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-2017-7549 | 2 Openstack, Redhat | 3 Instack-undercloud, Openstack, Openstack-director | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2017-7501 | 1 Rpm | 1 Rpm | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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-2017-15357 | 1 Arqbackup | 1 Arq | 2025-04-20 | N/A |
| 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. | ||||
