CVE-2021-21300 4 Apple, Debian, Fedoraproject and 1 more 5 Macos, Xcode, Debian Linux and 2 more 2023-11-07 5.1 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Git is an open-source distributed revision control system. In affected versions of Git a specially crafted repository that contains symbolic links as well as files using a clean/smudge filter such as Git LFS, may cause just-checked out script to be executed while cloning onto a case-insensitive file system such as NTFS, HFS+ or APFS (i.e. the default file systems on Windows and macOS). Note that clean/smudge filters have to be configured for that. Git for Windows configures Git LFS by default, and is therefore vulnerable. The problem has been patched in the versions published on Tuesday, March 9th, 2021. As a workaound, if symbolic link support is disabled in Git (e.g. via `git config --global core.symlinks false`), the described attack won't work. Likewise, if no clean/smudge filters such as Git LFS are configured globally (i.e. _before_ cloning), the attack is foiled. As always, it is best to avoid cloning repositories from untrusted sources. The earliest impacted version is 2.14.2. The fix versions are: 2.30.1, 2.29.3, 2.28.1, 2.27.1, 2.26.3, 2.25.5, 2.24.4, 2.23.4, 2.22.5, 2.21.4, 2.20.5, 2.19.6, 2.18.5, 2.17.62.17.6.
CVE-2021-1612 1 Cisco 1 Sd-wan 2023-11-07 6.6 MEDIUM 7.1 HIGH
A vulnerability in the Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN Software CLI could allow an authenticated, local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the local system. This vulnerability is due to improper access controls on files within the local file system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by placing a symbolic link in a specific location on the local file system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on an affected device.
CVE-2021-1278 1 Cisco 13 Catalyst Sd-wan Manager, Ios Xe Sd-wan, Sd-wan Firmware and 10 more 2023-11-07 7.8 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco SD-WAN products could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute denial of service (DoS) attacks against an affected device. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory.
CVE-2021-1145 1 Cisco 4 Asr 5000, Asr 5500, Asr 5700 and 1 more 2023-11-07 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
A vulnerability in the Secure FTP (SFTP) of Cisco StarOS for Cisco ASR 5000 Series Routers could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to read arbitrary files on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have valid credentials on the affected device. The vulnerability is due to insecure handling of symbolic links. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted SFTP command to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files on the affected device.
CVE-2020-7319 1 Mcafee 1 Endpoint Security 2023-11-07 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-2020-7325 1 Mcafee 1 Mvision Endpoint 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH

CVE-2020-7250 1 Mcafee 1 Endpoint Security 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 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-2020-7282 1 Mcafee 1 Total Protection 2023-11-07 3.3 LOW 6.3 MEDIUM
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-2020-6477 4 Apple, Fedoraproject, Google and 1 more 5 Mac Os X, Fedora, Chrome and 2 more 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Inappropriate implementation in installer in Google Chrome on OS X prior to 83.0.4103.61 allowed a local attacker to perform privilege escalation via a crafted file.
CVE-2020-6546 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Google 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Chrome 2023-11-07 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-2020-36314 2 Fedoraproject, Gnome 2 Fedora, File-roller 2023-11-07 2.6 LOW 3.9 LOW
fr-archive-libarchive.c in GNOME file-roller through 3.38.0, as used by GNOME Shell and other software, allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file's parent is a symlink in certain complex situations. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-11736.
CVE-2020-36241 2 Fedoraproject, Gnome 2 Fedora, Gnome-autoar 2023-11-07 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
autoar-extractor.c in GNOME gnome-autoar through 0.2.4, as used by GNOME Shell, Nautilus, and other software, allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file's parent is a symlink to a directory outside of the intended extraction location.
CVE-2020-2026 2 Fedoraproject, Katacontainers 2 Fedora, Runtime 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
A malicious guest compromised before a container creation (e.g. a malicious guest image or a guest running multiple containers) can trick the kata runtime into mounting the untrusted container filesystem on any host path, potentially allowing for code execution on the host. This issue affects: Kata Containers 1.11 versions earlier than 1.11.1; Kata Containers 1.10 versions earlier than 1.10.5; Kata Containers 1.9 and earlier versions.
CVE-2020-25744 1 Safervpn 1 Safervpn 2023-11-07 5.5 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
SaferVPN before 5.0.3.3 on Windows could allow low-privileged users to create or overwrite arbitrary files, which could cause a denial of service (DoS) condition, because a symlink from %LOCALAPPDATA%\SaferVPN\Log is followed.
CVE-2020-24654 5 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 2 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 2 more 2023-11-07 4.3 MEDIUM 3.3 LOW
In KDE Ark before 20.08.1, a crafted TAR archive with symlinks can install files outside the extraction directory, as demonstrated by a write operation to a user's home directory.
CVE-2020-24332 2 Fedoraproject, Trustedcomputinggroup 2 Fedora, Trousers 2023-11-07 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in TrouSerS through 0.3.14. If the tcsd daemon is started with root privileges, the creation of the system.data file is prone to symlink attacks. The tss user can be used to create or corrupt existing files, which could possibly lead to a DoS attack.
CVE-2020-14367 3 Canonical, Fedoraproject, Tuxfamily 3 Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, Chrony 2023-11-07 3.6 LOW 6.0 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in chrony versions before 3.5.1 when creating the PID file under the /var/run/chrony folder. The file is created during chronyd startup while still running as the root user, and when it's opened for writing, chronyd does not check for an existing symbolic link with the same file name. This flaw allows an attacker with privileged access to create a symlink with the default PID file name pointing to any destination file in the system, resulting in data loss and a denial of service due to the path traversal.
CVE-2020-13095 1 Obdev 1 Little Snitch 2023-11-07 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Little Snitch version 4.5.1 and older changed ownership of a directory path controlled by the user. This allowed the user to escalate to root by linking the path to a directory containing code executed by root.
CVE-2020-10174 3 Canonical, Fedoraproject, Timeshift Project 3 Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, Timeshift 2023-11-07 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
init_tmp in TeeJee.FileSystem.vala in Timeshift before 20.03 unsafely reuses a preexisting temporary directory in the predictable location /tmp/timeshift. It follows symlinks in this location or uses directories owned by unprivileged users. Because Timeshift also executes scripts under this location, an attacker can attempt to win a race condition to replace scripts created by Timeshift with attacker-controlled scripts. Upon success, an attacker-controlled script is executed with full root privileges. This logic is practically always triggered when Timeshift runs regardless of the command-line arguments used.
