CVSS v3.1 |
| The postfix.postinst script in the Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu postfix 2.5.5 package grants the postfix user write access to /var/spool/postfix/pid, which might allow local users to conduct symlink attacks that overwrite arbitrary files. |
| The IPSEC livetest tool in Openswan 2.4.12 and earlier, and 2.6.x through 2.6.16, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the (1) ipseclive.conn and (2) ipsec.olts.remote.log temporary files. NOTE: in many distributions and the upstream version, this tool has been disabled. |
| 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. |
| sympa.pl in sympa 5.3.4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/sympa_aliases.$$ temporary file. NOTE: wwsympa.fcgi was also reported, but the issue occurred in a dead function, so it is not a vulnerability. |
| maps/Info/combine.pl in CrossFire crossfire-maps 1.11.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. |
| add-accession-numbers in ctn 3.0.6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/accession temporary file. |
| test_parser.py in mayavi 1.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/err.log temporary file. |
| sch2eaglepos.sh in geda-gnetlist 1.4.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/##### temporary file. |
| inmail-show in mh-book 200605 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a (1) /tmp/inmail#####.log or (2) /tmp/inmail#####.stdin temporary file. |
| si_mkbootserver in systemimager-server 3.6.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a (1) /tmp/*.inetd.conf or (2) /tmp/pxe.conf.*.tmp temporary file. |
| mailscanner 4.55.10 and other versions before 4.74.16-1 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on certain temporary files used by the (1) f-prot-autoupdate, (2) clamav-autoupdate, (3) panda-autoupdate.new, (4) trend-autoupdate.new, and (5) rav-autoupdate.new scripts in /etc/MailScanner/autoupdate/, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-5140. |
| Red Hat Cluster Project 2.x allows local users to modify or overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks on files in /tmp, involving unspecified components in Resource Group Manager (aka rgmanager) before 2.03.09-1, gfs2-utils before 2.03.09-1, and CMAN - The Cluster Manager before 2.03.09-1 on Fedora 9. |
| (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. |
| The SSL certificate setup program (genSslCert.sh) in Standards Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability (SBLIM) sblim-sfcb 1.3.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) /var/tmp/key.pem, (2) /var/tmp/cert.pem, and (3) /var/tmp/ssl.cnf temporary files. |
| /bin/login in shadow 4.0.18.1 in Debian GNU/Linux, and probably other Linux distributions, allows local users in the utmp group to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file referenced in a line (aka ut_line) field in a utmp entry. |
| sdm-login in sdm-terminal 0.4.0b allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/sdm.autologin.once temporary file. |
| screenie in screenie 1.30.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/.screenie.##### temporary file. |
| 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. |
| gpsdrive (aka gpsdrive-scripts) 2.09 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an (a) /tmp/geo#####, a (b) /tmp/geocaching.loc, a (c) /tmp/geo#####.*, or a (d) /tmp/geo.* temporary file, related to the (1) geo-code and (2) geo-nearest scripts, different vectors than CVE-2008-4959. |
| pvpgn-support-installer in pvpgn 1.8.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/pvpgn-support-1.0.tar.gz temporary file. |
