CVE-2020-9670 2 Adobe, Microsoft 2 Creative Cloud Desktop Application, Windows 2024-11-21 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application versions 5.1 and earlier have a symlink vulnerability vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation.
CVE-2020-9452 1 Acronis 1 True Image 2020 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Acronis True Image 2020 24.5.22510. anti_ransomware_service.exe includes functionality to quarantine files by copying a suspected ransomware file from one directory to another using SYSTEM privileges. Because unprivileged users have write permissions in the quarantine folder, it is possible to control this privileged write with a hardlink. This means that an unprivileged user can write/overwrite arbitrary files in arbitrary folders. Escalating privileges to SYSTEM is trivial with arbitrary writes. While the quarantine feature is not enabled by default, it can be forced to copy the file to the quarantine by communicating with anti_ransomware_service.exe through its REST API.
CVE-2020-8950 2 Amd, Microsoft 2 User Experience Program, Windows 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The AUEPLauncher service in Radeon AMD User Experience Program Launcher through 1.0.0.1 on Windows allows elevation of privilege by placing a crafted file in %PROGRAMDATA%\AMD\PPC\upload and then creating a symbolic link in %PROGRAMDATA%\AMD\PPC\temp that points to an arbitrary folder with an arbitrary file name.
CVE-2020-8948 1 Sierrawireless 1 Mobile Broadband Driver Package 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The Sierra Wireless Windows Mobile Broadband Driver Packages (MBDP) before build 5043 allows an unprivileged user to overwrite arbitrary files in arbitrary folders using hard links. An unprivileged user could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.
CVE-2020-8831 2 Apport Project, Canonical 2 Apport, Ubuntu Linux 2024-11-21 2.1 LOW 6.5 MEDIUM
Apport creates a world writable lock file with root ownership in the world writable /var/lock/apport directory. If the apport/ directory does not exist (this is not uncommon as /var/lock is a tmpfs), it will create the directory, otherwise it will simply continue execution using the existing directory. This allows for a symlink attack if an attacker were to create a symlink at /var/lock/apport, changing apport's lock file location. This file could then be used to escalate privileges, for example. Fixed in versions 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.23, 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.14, 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.8 and 2.20.11-0ubuntu22.
CVE-2020-8585 1 Netapp 1 Oncommand Unified Manager 2024-11-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
OnCommand Unified Manager Core Package versions prior to 5.2.5 may disclose sensitive account information to unauthorized users via the use of PuTTY Link (plink).
CVE-2020-8103 1 Bitdefender 1 Antivirus 2020 2024-11-21 3.6 LOW 7.2 HIGH
A vulnerability in the improper handling of symbolic links in Bitdefender Antivirus Free can allow an unprivileged user to substitute a quarantined file, and restore it to a privileged location. This issue affects Bitdefender Antivirus Free versions prior to 1.0.17.178.
CVE-2020-8099 1 Bitdefender 1 Antivirus 2020 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.1 HIGH
A vulnerability in the improper handling of junctions in Bitdefender Antivirus Free can allow an unprivileged user to substitute a quarantined file, and restore it to a privileged location. This issue affects: Bitdefender Antivirus Free versions prior to 1.0.17.
CVE-2020-8015 2 Exim, Opensuse 2 Exim, Opensuse 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 8.4 HIGH
A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in the packaging of exim in openSUSE Factory allows local attackers to escalate from user mail to root. This issue affects: openSUSE Factory exim versions prior to 4.93.0.4-3.1.
CVE-2020-8013 2 Opensuse, Suse 2 Leap, Linux Enterprise Server 2024-11-21 1.9 LOW 2.2 LOW
A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in chkstat of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 set permissions intended for specific binaries on other binaries because it erroneously followed symlinks. The symlinks can't be controlled by attackers on default systems, so exploitation is difficult. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 permissions versions prior to 2015.09.28.1626-17.27.1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 permissions versions prior to 20181116-9.23.1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 permissions versions prior to 2013.1.7-0.6.12.1.
CVE-2020-7653 1 Synk 1 Broker 2024-11-21 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
All versions of snyk-broker before 4.80.0 are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read. It allows arbitrary file reads for users with access to Snyk's internal network by creating symlinks to match whitelisted paths.
CVE-2020-7325 1 Mcafee 1 Mvision Endpoint 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee MVISION Endpoint prior to 20.9 Update allows local users to access files which the user otherwise would not have access to via manipulating symbolic links to redirect McAfee file operations to an unintended file.
CVE-2020-7319 1 Mcafee 1 Endpoint Security 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
Improper Access Control vulnerability in McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) for Windows prior to 10.7.0 September 2020 Update allows local users to access files which the user otherwise would not have access to via manipulating symbolic links to redirect McAfee file operations to an unintended file.
CVE-2020-7282 1 Mcafee 1 Total Protection 2024-11-21 3.3 LOW 7.5 HIGH
Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee Total Protection (MTP) before 16.0.R26 allows local users to delete files the user would otherwise not have access to via manipulating symbolic links to redirect a McAfee delete action to an unintended file. This is achieved through running a malicious script or program on the target machine.
CVE-2020-7250 1 Mcafee 1 Endpoint Security 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 8.2 HIGH
Symbolic link manipulation vulnerability in McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) for Windows prior to 10.7.0 February 2020 Update allows authenticated local user to potentially gain an escalation of privileges by pointing the link to files which the user which not normally have permission to alter via carefully creating symbolic links from the ENS log file directory.
CVE-2020-7221 1 Mariadb 1 Mariadb 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
mysql_install_db in MariaDB 10.4.7 through 10.4.11 allows privilege escalation from the mysql user account to root because chown and chmod are performed unsafely, as demonstrated by a symlink attack on a chmod 04755 of auth_pam_tool_dir/auth_pam_tool. NOTE: this does not affect the Oracle MySQL product, which implements mysql_install_db differently.
CVE-2020-7040 4 Canonical, Debian, Opensuse and 1 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Backports Sle and 2 more 2024-11-21 9.3 HIGH 8.1 HIGH
storeBackup.pl in storeBackup through 3.5 relies on the /tmp/storeBackup.lock pathname, which allows symlink attacks that possibly lead to privilege escalation. (Local users can also create a plain file named /tmp/storeBackup.lock to block use of storeBackup until an admin manually deletes that file.)
CVE-2020-6546 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Google 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Chrome 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Inappropriate implementation in installer in Google Chrome prior to 84.0.4147.125 allowed a local attacker to potentially elevate privilege via a crafted filesystem.
CVE-2020-6477 4 Apple, Fedoraproject, Google and 1 more 5 Mac Os X, Fedora, Chrome and 2 more 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
