An issue was discovered in file profile.go in function MemProf in beego through 2.0.2, allows attackers to launch symlink attacks locally.

avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh in the Debian avahi package through 0.8-4 is executed as root via /etc/network/if-up.d/avahi-daemon, and allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service or create arbitrary empty files via a symlink attack on files under /run/avahi-daemon. NOTE: this only affects the packaging for Debian GNU/Linux (used indirectly by SUSE), not the upstream Avahi product.

An improper symlink following in FortiClient for Mac 6.4.3 and below may allow an non-privileged user to execute arbitrary privileged shell commands during installation phase.

Symlink Exchange Can Allow Host Filesystem Access

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where a user may be able to create a container with subpath volume mounts to access files & directories outside of the volume, including on the host filesystem.

Local privilege vulnerability in Yandex Browser for Windows prior to 22.5.0.862 allows a local, low privileged, attacker to execute arbitary code with the SYSTEM privileges through manipulating symlinks to installation file during Yandex Browser update process.

McAfee Total Protection (MTP) privilege escalation vulnerability

Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee Total Protection (MTP) prior to 16.0.30 allows a local user to gain elevated privileges and perform arbitrary file deletion as the SYSTEM user potentially causing Denial of Service via manipulating Junction link, after enumerating certain files, at a specific time.

Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee Total Protection (MTP)

Privilege Escalation vulnerability in the File Lock component of McAfee Total Protection (MTP) prior to 16.0.32 allows a local user to gain elevated privileges by manipulating a symbolic link in the IOCTL interface.

Arbitrary File Write

This affects all versions of package github.com/kataras/iris; all versions of package github.com/kataras/iris/v12. The unsafe handling of file names during upload using UploadFormFiles method may enable attackers to write to arbitrary locations outside the designated target folder.

Link Following

This affects the package juce-framework/JUCE before 6.1.5. This vulnerability is triggered when a malicious archive is crafted with an entry containing a symbolic link. When extracted, the symbolic link is followed outside of the target dir allowing writing arbitrary files on the target host. In some cases, this can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerable code is in the ZipFile::uncompressEntry function in juce_ZipFile.cpp and is executed when the archive is extracted upon calling uncompressTo() on a ZipFile object.

sudo: symbolic link attack in SELinux-enabled sudoedit

selinux_edit_copy_tfiles in sudoedit in Sudo before 1.9.5 allows a local unprivileged user to gain file ownership and escalate privileges by replacing a temporary file with a symlink to an arbitrary file target. This affects SELinux RBAC support in permissive mode. Machines without SELinux are not vulnerable.

sudo: possible directory existence test due to race condition in sudoedit

The sudoedit personality of Sudo before 1.9.5 may allow a local unprivileged user to perform arbitrary directory-existence tests by winning a sudo_edit.c race condition in replacing a user-controlled directory by a symlink to an arbitrary path.

libarchive: extracting a symlink with ACLs modifies ACLs of target

An improper link resolution flaw while extracting an archive can lead to changing the access control list (ACL) of the target of the link. An attacker may provide a malicious archive to a victim user, who would trigger this flaw when trying to extract the archive. A local attacker may use this flaw to change the ACL of a file on the system and gain more privileges.

There is an Unauthorized file access vulnerability in Huawei Smartphone.Successful exploitation of this vulnerability by modifying soft links may tamper with the files restored from backups.

There is an information leak vulnerability in the digital media player (DMS) of ZTE's residential gateway product. The attacker could insert the USB disk with the symbolic link into the residential gateway, and access unauthorized directory information through the symbolic link, causing information leak.

jenkins: FilePath#listFiles lists files outside directories with agent read access when following symbolic links.

FilePath#listFiles lists files outside directories that agents are allowed to access when following symbolic links in Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier.

jenkins: Creating symbolic links is possible without the symlink permission

Creating symbolic links is possible without the 'symlink' agent-to-controller access control permission in Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier.

jenkins: FilePath#untar does not check permission to create symbolic links when unarchiving a symbolic link

Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier does not check agent-to-controller access to create symbolic links when unarchiving a symbolic link in FilePath#untar.

jenkins: File path filters do not canonicalize paths, allowing operations to follow symbolic links to outside allowed directories

File path filters in the agent-to-controller security subsystem of Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier do not canonicalize paths, allowing operations to follow symbolic links to outside allowed directories.

jenkins: Arbitrary file read vulnerability in workspace browsers

Jenkins 2.274 and earlier, LTS 2.263.1 and earlier allows reading arbitrary files using the file browser for workspaces and archived artifacts by following symlinks.
