guilt 0.27 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a guilt.log.[PID] temporary file.

amarok: temporary file vulnerability via symlink attacks (priv esc)

The MagnatuneBrowser::listDownloadComplete function in magnatunebrowser/magnatunebrowser.cpp in Amarok before 1.4.10 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the album_info.xml temporary file.

initscripts: possible system files removal via malicious symlink in /var/{lock,run}

jasper: temporary file creation race in jas_stream_tmpfile()

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.

phpMyAdmin before 2.11.8 does not sufficiently prevent its pages from using frames that point to pages in other domains, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct spoofing or phishing activities via a cross-site framing attack.

XUL popup spoofing

GUI overlay vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.13 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.9 allows remote attackers to spoof form elements and redirect user inputs via a borderless XUL pop-up window from a background tab.

dovecot: insecure mail_extra_groups option

Dovecot before 1.0.11, when configured to use mail_extra_groups to allow Dovecot to create dotlocks in /var/mail, might allow local users to read sensitive mail files for other users, or modify files or directories that are writable by group, via a symlink attack.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Blender have unknown impact and attack vectors, related to "temporary file issues."

am-utils: insecure usage of temporary files

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.

openexec in OpenBase SQL before 10.0.1 allows local users to create arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/output file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-5328.

profile.php in ExtCalendar 2 and earlier allows remote attackers to change the passwords of arbitrary users without providing the original password, and possibly perform other unauthorized actions, via modified values to register.php.

lib/prefs.tcl in Cecilia 2.0.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the csvers temporary file.

Session fixation vulnerability in eggblog 3.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions by setting the PHPSESSID parameter.

security flaw

The init.d script for the X.Org X11 xfs font server on various Linux distributions might allow local users to change the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/.font-unix temporary file.

The main function in skkdic-expr.c in SKK Tools 1.2 allows local users to overwrite or delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a skkdic$PID temporary file.

xen xenmon.py / xenbaked insecure temporary file accesss

(1) xenbaked and (2) xenmon.py in Xen 3.1 and earlier allow local users to truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/xenq-shm.

gforge 3.1 and 4.5.14 allows local users to truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The DataLoader::doStart function in dataloader.cpp in QGit 1.5.6 and other versions up to 2pre1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable filenames.

The session extension in PHP before 5.2.4 might allow local users to bypass open_basedir restrictions via a session file that is a symlink.

emacs tramp unsafe temporary file usage

The (1) tramp-make-temp-file and (2) tramp-make-tramp-temp-file functions in Tramp 2.1.10 extension for Emacs, and possibly earlier 2.1.x versions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
