CVE-2009-5081 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-11-07 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) config.guess, (2) contrib/groffer/perl/groffer.pl, and (3) contrib/groffer/perl/roff2.pl scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier use an insufficient number of X characters in the template argument to the tempfile function, which makes it easier for local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0969.
CVE-2009-5079 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-11-07 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) gendef.sh, (2) doc/fixinfo.sh, and (3) contrib/gdiffmk/tests/runtests.in scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a gro#####.tmp or /tmp/##### temporary file.
CVE-2009-5080 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-11-07 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) contrib/eqn2graph/eqn2graph.sh, (2) contrib/grap2graph/grap2graph.sh, and (3) contrib/pic2graph/pic2graph.sh scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier do not properly handle certain failed attempts to create temporary directories, which might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in a temporary directory, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1296.
CVE-2009-5082 2 Gnu, Openwall 2 Groff, Owl 2023-11-07 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) configure and (2) config.guess scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.20.1 on Openwall GNU/*/Linux (aka Owl) improperly create temporary files upon a failure of the mktemp function, which makes it easier for local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2009-4030 2 Mysql, Oracle 2 Mysql, Mysql 2023-11-07 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.41 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL data home directory, related to incorrect calculation of the mysql_unpacked_real_data_home value. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-2079.
CVE-2009-1299 1 Pulseaudio 1 Pulseaudio 2023-11-07 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
The pa_make_secure_dir function in core-util.c in PulseAudio 0.9.10 and 0.9.19 allows local users to change the ownership and permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/.esd-##### temporary file.
CVE-2009-0356 1 Mozilla 2 Firefox, Seamonkey 2023-11-07 5.1 MEDIUM N/A
Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.6 and SeaMonkey do not block links to the (1) about:plugins and (2) about:config URIs from .desktop files, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and execute arbitrary code with chrome privileges via vectors involving the URL field in a Desktop Entry section of a .desktop file, related to representation of about: URIs as jar:file:// URIs. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4582.
CVE-2008-3521 1 Jasper Project 1 Jasper 2023-11-07 7.2 HIGH N/A
Race condition in the jas_stream_tmpfile function in libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer 1.900.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (program exit) by creating the appropriate tmp.XXXXXXXXXX temporary file, which causes Jasper to exit. NOTE: this was originally reported as a symlink issue, but this was incorrect. NOTE: some vendors dispute the severity of this issue, but it satisfies CVE's requirements for inclusion.
CVE-2008-1078 2 Gentoo, Rpath 2 Linux, Rpath Linux 2023-11-07 7.2 HIGH N/A
expn in the am-utils and net-fs packages for Gentoo, rPath Linux, and other distributions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the expn[PID] temporary file. NOTE: this is the same issue as CVE-2003-0308.1.
CVE-1999-0794 1 Microsoft 2 Excel, Office 2023-11-07 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
Microsoft Excel does not warn a user when a macro is present in a Symbolic Link (SYLK) format file.
CVE-1999-0981 1 Microsoft 1 Internet Explorer 2023-11-07 5.1 MEDIUM N/A
Internet Explorer 5.01 and earlier allows a remote attacker to create a reference to a client window and use a server-side redirect to access local files via that window, aka "Server-side Page Reference Redirect."
CVE-2023-42844 1 Apple 1 Macos 2023-11-02 N/A 7.5 HIGH
This issue was addressed with improved handling of symlinks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sonoma 14.1, macOS Monterey 12.7.1, macOS Ventura 13.6.1. A website may be able to access sensitive user data when resolving symlinks.
CVE-2023-46654 1 Jenkins 1 Cloudbees Cd 2023-11-01 N/A 8.1 HIGH
Jenkins CloudBees CD Plugin 1.1.32 and earlier follows symbolic links to locations outside of the expected directory during the cleanup process of the 'CloudBees CD - Publish Artifact' post-build step, allowing attackers able to configure jobs to delete arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.
CVE-2023-46655 1 Jenkins 1 Cloudbees Cd 2023-11-01 N/A 6.5 MEDIUM
Jenkins CloudBees CD Plugin 1.1.32 and earlier follows symbolic links to locations outside of the directory from which artifacts are published during the 'CloudBees CD - Publish Artifact' post-build step, allowing attackers able to configure jobs to publish arbitrary files from the Jenkins controller file system to the previously configured CloudBees CD server.
CVE-2023-28797 1 Zscaler 1 Client Connector 2023-10-27 N/A 7.3 HIGH
Zscaler Client Connector for Windows before 4.1 writes/deletes a configuration file inside specific folders on the disk. A malicious user can replace the folder and execute code as a privileged user.
CVE-2021-21602 1 Jenkins 1 Jenkins 2023-10-25 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
Jenkins 2.274 and earlier, LTS 2.263.1 and earlier allows reading arbitrary files using the file browser for workspaces and archived artifacts by following symlinks.
CVE-2023-40028 1 Ghost 1 Ghost 2023-08-23 N/A 6.5 MEDIUM
Ghost is an open source content management system. Versions prior to 5.59.1 are subject to a vulnerability which allows authenticated users to upload files that are symlinks. This can be exploited to perform an arbitrary file read of any file on the host operating system. Site administrators can check for exploitation of this issue by looking for unknown symlinks within Ghost's `content/` folder. Version 5.59.1 contains a fix for this issue. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
CVE-2022-48579 1 Rarlab 1 Unrar 2023-08-17 N/A 7.5 HIGH
UnRAR before 6.2.3 allows extraction of files outside of the destination folder via symlink chains.
CVE-2023-39107 2 Apple, Nomachine 2 Macos, Nomachine 2023-08-10 N/A 9.1 CRITICAL
An arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability in NoMachine Free Edition and Enterprise Client for macOS before v8.8.1 allows attackers to overwrite root-owned files by using hardlinks.
CVE-2022-31466 1 Quickheal 1 Total Security 2023-08-08 4.4 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
Time of Check - Time of Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in Quick Heal Total Security prior to 12.1.1.27 allows a local attacker to achieve privilege escalation, potentially leading to deletion of system files. This is achieved through exploiting the time between detecting a file as malicious and when the action of quarantining or cleaning is performed, and using the time to replace the malicious file by a symlink.
