emesenelib/ProfileManager.py in emesene before 1.6.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the emsnpic temporary file.

mysql: table destruction via DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY directives using symlinks

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.

fuse: Race condition by umount (fusermount) operations

fusermount in FUSE before 2.7.5, and 2.8.x before 2.8.2, allows local users to unmount an arbitrary FUSE filesystem share via a symlink attack on a mountpoint.

flite: insecure temporary file use

The play_wave_from_socket function in audio/auserver.c in Flite 1.4 allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/awb.wav. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

cups: lppasswd vulnerability allows data access to unprivileged user

lppasswd in CUPS before 1.7.1, when running with setuid privileges, allows local users to read portions of arbitrary files via a modified HOME environment variable and a symlink attack involving .cups/client.conf.

core: html/rss-newsfeed.php insecure temporary file usage

rss-newsfeed.php in Nagios Core 3.4.4, 3.5.1, and earlier, when MAGPIE_CACHE_ON is set to 1, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/magpie_cache.

gdm: TOCTTOU race condition on /tmp/.X11-unix

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/.

pulseaudio: information disclosure or DoS due to temporary directory handling

The pa_make_secure_dir function in core-util.c in PulseAudio 0.9.10 and 0.9.19 allows local users to change the ownership and permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/.esd-##### temporary file.

2.0: appliance-base / redhat-storage-server /tmp file creation vuln

Red Hat Storage 2.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) e, (2) local-bricks.list, (3) bricks.err, or (4) limits.conf files in /tmp.

rubygem-passenger: insecure temporary directory usage due to reuse of existing server instance directories

ext/common/ServerInstanceDir.h in Phusion Passenger gem before 4.0.6 for Ruby allows local users to gain privileges or possibly change the ownership of arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on a directory with a predictable name in /tmp/.

python-suds: Insecure temporary directory use when initializing file-based URL cache

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/.

samba: wide links protection broken

A symlink following vulnerability was found in Samba, where a user can create a symbolic link that will make 'smbd' escape the configured share path. This flaw allows a remote user with access to the exported part of the file system under a share via SMB1 unix extensions or NFS to create symlinks to files outside the 'smbd' configured share path and gain access to another restricted server's filesystem.

Windows Group Policy Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Windows Group Policy Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

uptimed before 0.4.6-r1 on Gentoo allows local users (with access to the uptimed user account) to gain root privileges by creating a hard link within the /var/spool/uptimed directory, because there is an unsafe chown -R call.

A link following vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service Damage Cleanup Engine could allow a local attacker to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability in the installer, where a user installing the NVIDIA GeForce Experience software may inadvertently delete data from a linked location, which may lead to data tampering. An attacker does not have explicit control over the exploitation of this vulnerability, which requires the user to explicitly launch the installer from the compromised directory.

NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability in the NVContainer component, where a user without administrator privileges can create a symbolic link to a file that requires elevated privileges to write to or modify, which may lead to denial of service, escalation of privilege or limited data tampering.

PowerPath Management Appliance with versions 3.3, 3.2*, 3.1 & 3.0* contains sensitive information disclosure vulnerability. An Authenticated admin user can able to exploit the issue and view sensitive information stored in the logs.

Dell Command | Integration Suite for System Center, versions before 6.4.0 contain an arbitrary folder delete vulnerability during uninstallation. A locally authenticated malicious user may potentially exploit this vulnerability leading to arbitrary folder deletion.

Dell Command | Intel vPro Out of Band, versions before 4.4.0, contain an arbitrary folder delete vulnerability during uninstallation. A locally authenticated malicious user may potentially exploit this vulnerability leading to arbitrary folder deletion.
