CVSS v3.1 |
| A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the cp utility of uutils coreutils allows an attacker to bypass no-dereference intent. The utility checks if a source path is a symbolic link using path-based metadata but subsequently opens it without the O_NOFOLLOW flag. An attacker with concurrent write access can swap a regular file for a symbolic link during this window, causing a privileged cp process to copy the contents of arbitrary sensitive files into a destination controlled by the attacker. |
| Flatpak is a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. Prior to 1.16.4, the Flatpak portal accepts paths in the sandbox-expose options which can be app-controlled symlinks pointing at arbitrary paths. Flatpak run mounts the resolved host path in the sandbox. This gives apps access to all host files and can be used as a primitive to gain code execution in the host context. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.16.4. |
| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Universal Plug and Play (upnp.dll) allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally. |
| Compressing is a compressing and uncompressing lib for node. Prior to 2.1.1 and 1.10.5, the patch for CVE-2026-24884 relies on a purely logical string validation within the isPathWithinParent utility. This check verifies if a resolved path string starts with the destination directory string but fails to account for the actual filesystem state. By exploiting this "Logical vs. Physical" divergence, an attacker can bypass the security check using a Directory Poisoning technique (pre-existing symbolic links). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.1 and 1.10.5. |
| mkmailpost in newsgate 1.6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/mmp##### temporary file. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| amlabel-cdrw in cdrw-taper 0.4 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack involving a /tmp/amlabel-cdrw.##### temporary directory. |
| init in initramfs-tools 0.92f allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/initramfs.debug temporary file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, stating that "init is [used in] a single-user context; there's no possibility that this is exploitable. |
| (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 (1) ncsarmt and (2) ncsawrap scripts in xmcd 2.6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/Mosaic.*pid temporary file. |
| PatchLink Update client for Unix, as used by Novell ZENworks Patch Management Update Agent for Linux/Unix/Mac (LUM) 6.2094 through 6.4102 and other products, allows local users to (1) truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/patchlink.tmp file used by the logtrimmer script, and (2) execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the /tmp/plshutdown file used by the rebootTask script. |
| mead.pl in fml 4.0.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/debugbuf temporary file. |
| liguidsoap.py in liguidsoap 0.3.8.1+2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /tmp/liguidsoap.liq, (2) /tmp/lig.#####.log, and (3) /tmp/emission.ogg temporary files. |
| aegis 4.24 and aegis-web 4.24 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (a) /tmp/#####, (b) /tmp/#####.intro, (c) /tmp/aegis.#####.ae, (d) /tmp/aegis.#####, (e) /tmp/aegis.#####.1, (f) /tmp/aegis.#####.2, (g) /tmp/aegis.#####.log, and (h) /tmp/aegis.#####.out temporary files, related to the (1) bng_dvlpd.sh, (2) bng_rvwd.sh, (3) awt_dvlp.sh, (4) awt_intgrtn.sh, and (5) aegis.cgi scripts. |
| vcdiff in Emacs 20.7 to 22.1.50, when used with SCCS, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files. |
| 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. |
| mailgo in mgt 2.31 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/mailgo##### temporary file. |
| postinst in twiki 4.1.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/twiki temporary file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, stating "this bug is invalid. |
