CVE-2011-2924 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Linuxfoundation 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Foomatic-filters 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
foomatic-rip filter v4.0.12 and prior used insecurely creates temporary files for storage of PostScript data by rendering the data when the debug mode was enabled. This flaw may be exploited by a local attacker to conduct symlink attacks by overwriting arbitrary files accessible with the privileges of the user running the foomatic-rip universal print filter.
CVE-2011-2923 2 Debian, Linuxfoundation 2 Debian Linux, Foomatic-filters 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
foomatic-rip filter, all versions, used insecurely creates temporary files for storage of PostScript data by rendering the data when the debug mode was enabled. This flaw may be exploited by a local attacker to conduct symlink attacks by overwriting arbitrary files accessible with the privileges of the user running the foomatic-rip universal print filter.
CVE-2011-2765 1 Pyro Project 1 Pyro 2026-06-16 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
pyro before 3.15 unsafely handles pid files in temporary directory locations and opening the pid file as root. An attacker can use this flaw to overwrite arbitrary files via symlinks.

The configure script in D-Bus (aka DBus) 1.2.x before 1.2.28 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified file in /tmp/.
CVE-2011-2473 1 Maynard Johnson 1 Oprofile 2026-06-16 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-2011-2185 1 Fabfile 1 Fabric 2026-06-16 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
Fabric before 1.1.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) a /tmp/fab.*.tar file or (2) certain other files in the top level of /tmp/.
CVE-2011-1920 2 Ihji, Netbsd 2 Pmake, Netbsd 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW N/A
The make include files in NetBSD before 1.6.2, as used in pmake 1.111 and other products, allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/_depend##### temporary file, related to (1) bsd.lib.mk and (2) bsd.prog.mk.
CVE-2011-1408 2 Debian, Ikiwiki 2 Debian Linux, Ikiwiki 2026-06-16 6.4 MEDIUM 8.2 HIGH
ikiwiki before 3.20110608 allows remote attackers to hijack root's tty and run symlink attacks.
CVE-2011-1384 1 Ibm 2 Aix, Invscout.rte 2026-06-16 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-2011-1144 1 Php 1 Pear 2026-06-16 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-2011-1136 2 Debian, Tesseract Project 2 Debian Linux, Tesseract 2026-06-16 6.3 MEDIUM 4.7 MEDIUM

CVE-2011-1073 2 Apple, Freebsd 2 Mac Os X, Freebsd 2026-06-16 1.9 LOW N/A
crontab.c in crontab in FreeBSD and Apple Mac OS X allows local users to (1) determine the existence of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/crontab.XXXXXXXXXX temporary file and (2) perform MD5 checksum comparisons on arbitrary pairs of files via two symlink attacks on /tmp/crontab.XXXXXXXXXX temporary files.
CVE-2011-1072 1 Php 1 Pear 2026-06-16 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.
