CVE-2018-11637 1 Dialogic 1 Powermedia Xms 2024-11-21 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Information leakage vulnerability in the administrative console in Dialogic PowerMedia XMS through 3.5 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the /var/ directory because a symlink exists under the web root.
CVE-2018-10928 4 Debian, Gluster, Opensuse and 1 more 7 Debian Linux, Glusterfs, Leap and 4 more 2024-11-21 6.5 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3_symlink_req in glusterfs server which allows symlink destinations to point to file paths outside of the gluster volume. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to create arbitrary symlinks pointing anywhere on the server and execute arbitrary code on glusterfs server nodes.
CVE-2018-10897 2 Redhat, Rpm 5 Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Server, Enterprise Linux Workstation and 2 more 2024-11-21 9.3 HIGH 8.1 HIGH
A directory traversal issue was found in reposync, a part of yum-utils, where reposync fails to sanitize paths in remote repository configuration files. If an attacker controls a repository, they may be able to copy files outside of the destination directory on the targeted system via path traversal. If reposync is running with heightened privileges on a targeted system, this flaw could potentially result in system compromise via the overwriting of critical system files. Version 1.1.31 and older are believed to be affected.
CVE-2018-10722 1 Cylance 1 Cylanceprotect 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
In Cylance CylancePROTECT before 1470, an unprivileged local user can obtain SYSTEM privileges because users have Modify access to the %PROGRAMFILES%\Cylance\Desktop\log folder, the CyUpdate process grants users Modify access to new files created in this folder, and a new file can be a symlink chain to a pathname of an arbitrary DLL that CyUpdate uses.
CVE-2018-10380 3 Debian, Kde, Opensuse 3 Debian Linux, Plasma, Leap 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
kwallet-pam in KDE KWallet before 5.12.6 allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
CVE-2018-1000544 3 Debian, Redhat, Rubyzip Project 3 Debian Linux, Cloudforms, Rubyzip 2024-11-21 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
rubyzip gem rubyzip version 1.2.1 and earlier contains a Directory Traversal vulnerability in Zip::File component that can result in write arbitrary files to the filesystem. This attack appear to be exploitable via If a site allows uploading of .zip files , an attacker can upload a malicious file that contains symlinks or files with absolute pathnames "../" to write arbitrary files to the filesystem..
CVE-2018-1000073 1 Rubygems 1 Rubygems 2024-11-21 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
RubyGems version Ruby 2.2 series: 2.2.9 and earlier, Ruby 2.3 series: 2.3.6 and earlier, Ruby 2.4 series: 2.4.3 and earlier, Ruby 2.5 series: 2.5.0 and earlier, prior to trunk revision 62422 contains a Directory Traversal vulnerability in install_location function of package.rb that can result in path traversal when writing to a symlinked basedir outside of the root. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 2.7.6.
CVE-2017-9525 3 Canonical, Cron Project, Debian 3 Ubuntu Linux, Cron, Debian Linux 2024-11-21 6.9 MEDIUM 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-2017-8806 3 Canonical, Debian, Postgresql 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Postgresql 2024-11-21 3.6 LOW 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-2017-8108 1 Cisofy 1 Lynis 2024-11-21 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 2024-11-21 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-2017-7500 1 Rpm 1 Rpm 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.3 HIGH
It was found that rpm did not properly handle RPM installations when a destination path was a symbolic link to a directory, possibly changing ownership and permissions of an arbitrary directory, and RPM files being placed in an arbitrary destination. An attacker, with write access to a directory in which a subdirectory will be installed, could redirect that directory to an arbitrary location and gain root privilege.
CVE-2017-7418 1 Proftpd 1 Proftpd 2024-11-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
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-2017-6981 1 Apple 2 Iphone Os, Mac Os X 2024-11-21 9.3 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.5 is affected. The issue involves the "iBooks" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app that uses symlinks.
CVE-2017-5188 1 Opensuse 1 Open Build Service 2024-11-21 5.0 MEDIUM 5.0 MEDIUM
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-2017-2916 1 Meetcircle 2 Circle With Disney, Circle With Disney Firmware 2024-11-21 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
An exploitable vulnerability exists in the /api/CONFIG/restore functionality of Circle with Disney running firmware 2.0.1. Specially crafted network packets can cause an arbitrary file to be overwritten. An attacker can send an HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
CVE-2017-2619 3 Debian, Redhat, Samba 3 Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux, Samba 2024-11-21 6.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Samba before versions 4.6.1, 4.5.7 and 4.4.11 are vulnerable to a malicious client using a symlink race to allow access to areas of the server file system not exported under the share definition.
CVE-2017-2390 1 Apple 4 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Tvos and 1 more 2024-11-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3 is affected. macOS before 10.12.4 is affected. tvOS before 10.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.2 is affected. The issue involves symlink mishandling in the "libarchive" component. It allows local users to change arbitrary directory permissions via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2017-1301 1 Ibm 1 Tivoli Storage Manager 2024-11-21 3.6 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
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-2017-18925 1 Openr 1 Opentmpfiles 2024-11-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
opentmpfiles through 0.3.1 allows local users to take ownership of arbitrary files because d entries are mishandled and allow a symlink attack.
