CVE-2011-4028 1 X.org 1 X Server 2025-04-11 1.2 LOW N/A
The LockServer function in os/utils.c in X.Org xserver before 1.11.2 allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary lock file, which is handled differently if the file exists.
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-2011-0754 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-2011-1144 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-2013-1888 2 Fedoraproject, Pypa 2 Fedora, Pip 2025-04-11 2.1 LOW N/A
pip before 1.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in the /tmp/pip-build temporary directory.
CVE-2013-4969 4 Canonical, Debian, Puppet and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Puppet Enterprise and 1 more 2025-04-11 2.1 LOW N/A
Puppet before 3.3.3 and 3.4 before 3.4.1 and Puppet Enterprise (PE) before 2.8.4 and 3.1 before 3.1.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on unspecified files.
CVE-2010-1626 2 Mysql, Oracle 2 Mysql, Mysql 2025-04-11 3.6 LOW N/A
MySQL before 5.1.46 allows local users to delete the data and index files of another user's MyISAM table via a symlink attack in conjunction with the DROP TABLE command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-7247.
CVE-2011-0541 1 Fuse 1 Fuse 2025-04-11 3.3 LOW N/A
fuse 2.8.5 and earlier does not properly handle when /etc/mtab cannot be updated, which allows local users to unmount arbitrary directories via a symlink attack.
CVE-2010-1693 1 Openfabrics 1 Enterprise Distribution 2025-04-11 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
openibd in OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.5.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/ib_set_node_desc.sh temporary file.
CVE-2010-0792 1 Thibault Godouet 1 Fcron 2025-04-11 1.9 LOW N/A
fcrontab in fcron before 3.0.5 allows local users to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified file.
CVE-2010-0787 1 Samba 1 Samba 2025-04-11 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
client/mount.cifs.c in mount.cifs in smbfs in Samba 3.0.22, 3.0.28a, 3.2.3, 3.3.2, 3.4.0, and 3.4.5 allows local users to mount a CIFS share on an arbitrary mountpoint, and gain privileges, via a symlink attack on the mountpoint directory file.
CVE-2009-5082 2 Gnu, Openwall 2 Groff, Owl 2025-04-11 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-2011-1384 1 Ibm 2 Aix, Invscout.rte 2025-04-11 4.0 MEDIUM N/A
The (1) bin/invscoutClient_VPD_Survey and (2) sbin/invscout_lsvpd programs in invscout.rte before 2.2.0.19 on IBM AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3, and earlier allow local users to delete arbitrary files, or trigger inventory scout operations on arbitrary files, via a symlink attack on an unspecified file.
CVE-2012-3440 2 Redhat, Todd Miller 2 Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2025-04-11 5.6 MEDIUM N/A
A certain Red Hat script for sudo 1.7.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /var/tmp/nsswitch.conf.bak temporary file.
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-2010-0788 1 Ncpfs 1 Ncpfs 2025-04-11 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
ncpfs 2.2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or possibly gain privileges via symlink attacks involving the (1) ncpmount and (2) ncpumount programs.
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-2013-2217 3 Jeff Ortel, Opensuse, Redhat 3 Suds, Opensuse, Enterprise Linux 2025-04-11 1.2 LOW N/A
cache.py in Suds 0.4, when tempdir is set to None, allows local users to redirect SOAP queries and possibly have other unspecified impact via a symlink attack on a cache file with a predictable name in /tmp/suds/.

CVE-2013-0927 1 Google 1 Chrome Os 2025-04-11 7.5 HIGH N/A
Google Chrome OS before 26.0.1410.57 relies on a Pango pango-utils.c read_config implementation that loads the contents of the .pangorc file in the user's home directory, and the file referenced by the PANGO_RC_FILE environment variable, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted configuration data.
