cpio, as used in build 2007.05.10, 2010.07.28, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink within an RPM package archive.
CVE-2009-5079 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2025-04-11 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-2011-1144 1 Php 1 Pear 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
The installer in PEAR 1.9.2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the package.xml file, related to the (1) download_dir, (2) cache_dir, (3) tmp_dir, and (4) pear-build-download directories. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1072.
CVE-2012-5355 1 Bryce Harrington 1 Xdiagnose 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
welcome.py in xdiagnose before 2.5.2ubuntu0.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file with a predictable name in /tmp.
CVE-2014-1640 1 Debian 1 Axiom 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
axiom-test.sh in axiom 20100701-1.1 uses tempfile to create a safe temporary file but appends a suffix to the original filename and writes to this new filename, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the new filename.
CVE-2013-4169 1 Gnome 1 Gnome Display Manager 2025-04-11 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
GNOME Display Manager (gdm) before 2.21.1 allows local users to change permissions of arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on /tmp/.X11-unix/.
CVE-2011-0754 2 Microsoft, Php 2 Windows, Php 2025-04-11 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
The SplFileInfo::getType function in the Standard PHP Library (SPL) extension in PHP before 5.3.4 on Windows does not properly detect symbolic links, which might make it easier for local users to conduct symlink attacks by leveraging cross-platform differences in the stat structure, related to lack of a FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT check.
CVE-2011-4617 1 Python 1 Virtualenv 2025-04-11 1.2 LOW N/A
virtualenv.py in virtualenv before 1.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a certain file in /tmp/.
CVE-2012-4676 1 Google 1 Tunnelblick 2025-04-11 1.2 LOW N/A
The errorExitIfAttackViaString function in Tunnelblick 3.3beta20 and earlier allows local users to delete arbitrary files by constructing a (1) symlink or (2) hard link, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-3485.
CVE-2012-0808 1 Bdale Garbee 1 As31 2025-04-11 3.6 LOW N/A
as31 2.3.1-4 does not seed the random number generator and generates predictable temporary file names, which makes it easier for local users to create or truncate files via a symlink attack.
CVE-2011-0461 1 Opensuse 1 Opensuse 2025-04-11 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
/etc/init.d/boot.localfs in the aaa_base package before 11.2-43.48.1 in SUSE openSUSE 11.2, and before 11.3-8.7.1 in openSUSE 11.3, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /dev/shm/mtab.
CVE-2014-1639 1 Debian 1 Syncevolution 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
syncevo/installcheck-local.sh in syncevolution before 1.3.99.7 uses mktemp to create a safe temporary file but appends a suffix to the original filename and writes to this new filename, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the new filename.
CVE-2011-0012 2 Mozilla, Redhat 2 Firefox, Spice-xpi 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
The SPICE Firefox plug-in (spice-xpi) 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, and possibly other versions allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the usbrdrctl log file, which has a predictable name.
CVE-2011-2473 1 Maynard Johnson 1 Oprofile 2025-04-11 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
The do_dump_data function in utils/opcontrol in OProfile 0.9.6 and earlier might allow local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted --session-dir argument in conjunction with a symlink attack on the opd_pipe file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1760.
CVE-2011-3616 1 Conky 1 Conky 2025-04-11 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
The getSkillname function in the eve module in Conky 1.8.1 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/.cesf.
CVE-2014-1638 1 Debian 1 Localepurge 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
(1) debian/postrm and (2) debian/localepurge.config in localepurge before 0.7.3.2 use tempfile to create a safe temporary file but appends a suffix to the original filename and writes to this new filename, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the new filename.
CVE-2014-1624 1 Python 1 Pyxdg 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
Race condition in the xdg.BaseDirectory.get_runtime_dir function in python-xdg 0.25 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by pre-creating /tmp/pyxdg-runtime-dir-fallback-victim to point to a victim-owned location, then replacing it with a symlink to an attacker-controlled location once the get_runtime_dir function is called.
CVE-2011-1072 1 Php 1 Pear 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
The installer in PEAR before 1.9.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the package.xml file, related to the (1) download_dir, (2) cache_dir, (3) tmp_dir, and (4) pear-build-download directories, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-2519.
