CVSS v3.1 |
| The configtest function in the Red Hat dhcpd init script for DHCP 3.0.1 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified temporary file, related to the "dhcpd -t" command. |
| jhead.c in Matthias Wandel jhead 2.84 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. |
| fence_manual, as used in fence 2.02.00-r1 and possibly cman, allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the fence_manual.fifo temporary file. |
| The (1) fence_apc and (2) fence_apc_snmp programs, as used in (a) fence 2.02.00-r1 and possibly (b) cman, when running in verbose mode, allows local users to append to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the apclog temporary file. |
| The init script (sysstat.in) in sysstat 5.1.2 up to 7.1.6 creates /tmp/sysstat.run insecurely, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code. |
| The pserver_shutdown function in fence_egenera in cman 2.20080629 and 2.20080801 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/eglog temporary file. |
| Audacity 1.3.2 creates a temporary directory with a predictable name without checking for previous existence of that directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (recording deadlock) by creating the directory before Audacity is run. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack. |
| qemu-dm.debug in Xen 3.2.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/args temporary file. |
| Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange and telephony toolkit. Prior to versions 20.7-cert9, 20.18.2, 21.12.1, 22.8.2, and 23.2.2, when ast_coredumper writes its gdb init and output files to a directory that is world-writable (for example /tmp), an attacker with write permission(which is all users on a linux system) to that directory can cause root to execute arbitrary commands or overwrite arbitrary files by controlling the gdb init file and output paths. This issue has been patched in versions 20.7-cert9, 20.18.2, 21.12.1, 22.8.2, and 23.2.2. |
| In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.1, 10.0.5, 9.4.10, and 9.3.11, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.4.2603.0, 10.3.2512.5, 10.2.2510.9, 10.1.2507.19, 10.0.2503.13, and 9.3.2411.127, a low-privileged user that does not hold the `admin` or `power` Splunk roles could potentially perform a Remote Code Execution (RCE) by uploading a malicious file to the `$SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/apptemp` directory due to improper handling and insufficient isolation of temporary files within the `apptemp` directory. |
| Use of insecure directory in Spring Data Geode snapshot import extracts archives into predictable, permissive directories under the system temp location. On shared hosts, a local user with basic privileges can access another user’s extracted snapshot contents, leading to unintended exposure of cache data. |
| An Insecure Temporary File vulnerability in openSUSE sdbootutil allows local users to pre-create a directory to achieve various effects like:
* gain access to possible private information found in /var/lib/pcrlock.d
* manipulate the data backed up in /tmp/pcrlock.d.bak, therefore violating the integrity of the data should it be restored.
* overwrite protected system files with data from /var/lib/pcrlock.d by placing symlinks to existing files in the directory tree in /tmp/pcrlock.d.bak.
This issue affects sdbootutil: from ? before 5880246d3a02642dc68f5c8cb474bf63cdb56bca. |
| znew in the gzip package allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files. |
| Race condition in shtool 2.0.1 and earlier allows local users to create or modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .shtool.$$ temporary file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-1759. |
| An issue was addressed with improved handling of temporary files. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.3. An app may be able to access user-sensitive data. |
| A logging issue was addressed with improved data redaction. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3, macOS Tahoe 26.3, tvOS 26.3, watchOS 26.3. A user may be able to view sensitive user information. |
| ActiveSupport::EncryptedFile writes contents that will be encrypted to a
temporary file. The temporary file's permissions are defaulted to the user's
current `umask` settings, meaning that it's possible for other users on the
same system to read the contents of the temporary file.
Attackers that have access to the file system could possibly read the contents
of this temporary file while a user is editing it.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the
workarounds immediately. |
| JumpCloud Remote Assist for Windows versions prior to 0.317.0 include an uninstaller that is invoked by the JumpCloud Windows Agent as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM during agent uninstall or update operations. The Remote Assist uninstaller performs privileged create, write, execute, and delete actions on predictable files inside a user-writable %TEMP% subdirectory without validating that the directory is trusted or resetting its ACLs when it already exists. A local, low-privileged attacker can pre-create the directory with weak permissions and leverage mount-point or symbolic-link redirection to (a) coerce arbitrary file writes to protected locations, leading to denial of service (e.g., by overwriting sensitive system files), or (b) win a race to redirect DeleteFileW() to attacker-chosen targets, enabling arbitrary file or folder deletion and local privilege escalation to SYSTEM. This issue is fixed in JumpCloud Remote Assist 0.317.0 and affects Windows systems where Remote Assist is installed and managed through the Agent lifecycle. |
| pytest through 9.0.2 on UNIX relies on directories with the /tmp/pytest-of-{user} name pattern, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges. |
| The TLS engine in Kwik commit 745fd4e2 does not track the current state of the connection. This vulnerability can allow Client Hello messages to be overwritten at any time, including after a connection has been established. |
