CVE-2009-5082 2 Gnu, Openwall 2 Groff, Owl 2026-06-16 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-2009-5081 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2026-06-16 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-2009-5080 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2026-06-16 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-2009-5079 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2026-06-16 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-2009-5044 2 Apple, Gnu 2 Mac Os X, Groff 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW N/A
contrib/pdfmark/pdfroff.sh in GNU troff (aka groff) before 1.21 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a pdf#####.tmp temporary file.
CVE-2009-5023 1 Fail2ban 1 Fail2ban 2026-06-16 4.7 MEDIUM N/A
The (1) dshield.conf, (2) mail-buffered.conf, (3) mynetwatchman.conf, and (4) mynetwatchman.conf actions in action.d/ in Fail2ban before 0.8.5 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable names, as demonstrated by /tmp/fail2ban-mail.txt.
CVE-2009-5007 1 Cisco 1 Anyconnect Ssl Vpn 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW N/A
The Cisco trial client on Linux for Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on unspecified temporary files.
CVE-2009-4664 2 Fwbuilder, Linux 2 Firewall Builder, Linux Kernel 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW N/A
Firewall Builder 3.0.4, 3.0.5, and 3.0.6, when running on Linux, allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on an unspecified temporary file that is created by the iptables script.
CVE-2009-4454 1 Saini 1 Videocache 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW N/A
vccleaner in VideoCache 1.9.2 allows local users with Squid proxy user privileges to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /var/log/videocache/vccleaner.log.
CVE-2009-4193 1 Merkaartor 1 Merkaartor 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW N/A
Merkaartor 0.14 allows local users to append data to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/merkaartor.log temporary file.
CVE-2009-4135 3 Canonical, Fedoraproject, Gnu 3 Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, Coreutils 2026-06-16 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
The distcheck rule in dist-check.mk in GNU coreutils 5.2.1 through 8.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on a file in a directory tree under /tmp.
CVE-2009-4030 2 Mysql, Oracle 2 Mysql, Mysql 2026-06-16 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-2009-3304 1 Gforge 1 Gforge 2026-06-16 3.3 LOW N/A
