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-2015-3211 1 Php-fpm 1 Php-fpm 2025-04-20 N/A
php-fpm allows local users to write to or create arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

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-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-2015-8860 1 Nodejs 1 Node.js 2025-04-20 N/A
The tar package before 2.0.0 for Node.js allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in an archive.
CVE-2015-8326 1 Iptables-parse Project 1 Iptables-parse Module 2025-04-20 N/A
The IPTables-Parse module before 1.6 for Perl allows local users to write to arbitrary files owned by the current user.
CVE-2015-7724 1 Amd 1 Fglrx-driver 2025-04-20 N/A
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-2015-7529 3 Canonical, Redhat, Sos Project 9 Ubuntu Linux, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 6 more 2025-04-20 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-2015-5705 2 Devscripts Devel Team, Fedoraproject 2 Devscripts, Fedora 2025-04-20 N/A
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-2017-12258 1 Cisco 1 Unified Communications Manager 2025-04-20 N/A
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-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.
CVE-2016-6253 1 Netbsd 1 Netbsd 2025-04-20 N/A
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-2015-3149 1 Redhat 8 Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Hpc Node and 5 more 2025-04-20 N/A
The Hotspot component in OpenJDK8 as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
CVE-2017-9525 3 Canonical, Cron Project, Debian 3 Ubuntu Linux, Cron, Debian Linux 2025-04-20 6.7 Medium
In the cron package through 3.0pl1-128 on Debian, and through 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 on Ubuntu, the postinst maintainer script allows for group-crontab-to-root privilege escalation via symlink attacks against unsafe usage of the chown and chmod programs.
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-2017-7418 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-2017-3265 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-2024-0206 2 Microsoft, Trellix 2 Windows, Anti-malware Engine 2025-04-17 7.1 High
A symbolic link manipulation vulnerability in Trellix Anti-Malware Engine prior to the January 2024 release allows an authenticated local user to potentially gain an escalation of privileges. This was achieved by adding an entry to the registry under the Trellix ENS registry folder with a symbolic link to files that the user wouldn't normally have permission to. After a scan, the Engine would follow the links and remove the files
