CVSS v3.1 |
| LutelWall 0.97 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file created by a system call to wget. |
| Race condition in cpio 2.6 and earlier allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by cpio after the decompression is complete. |
| The internal_dump function in Mathopd before 1.5p5, and 1.6x before 1.6b6 BETA, when Mathopd is running with the -n option, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on dump files that are triggered by a SIGWINCH signal. |
| Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote malicious web sites to overwrite arbitrary files by tricking the user into downloading a .LNK (link) file twice, which overwrites the file that was referenced in the first .LNK file. |
| mod_gzip 1.3.26.1a and earlier, and possibly later official versions, when running in debug mode without the Apache log, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via (1) a symlink attack on predictable temporary filenames on Unix systems, or (2) an NTFS hard link on Windows systems when the "Strengthen default permissions of internal system objects" policy is not enabled. |
| cci_dir in IBM U2 UniVerse 10.0.0.9 and earlier creates hard links and unlinks files as root, which allows local users to gain privileges by deleting and overwriting arbitrary files. |
| faxrunqd.in in mgetty 1.1.28 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on JOB files. |
| cvsupd.sh in CVSup 1.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain privileges via a symlink attack on /var/tmp/cvsupd.out. |
| Unspecified vulnerability in pprosetup in Sun PatchPro 2.0 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to "unsafe use of temporary files." |
| Sun PC NetLink 1.0 through 1.2 does not properly set the access control list (ACL) for files and directories that use symbolic links and have been restored from backup, which could allow local or remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| HP-UX 11.00 crontab allows local users to read arbitrary files via the -e option by creating a symlink to the target file during the crontab session, quitting the session, and reading the error messages that crontab generates. |
| DiskCheck script diskcheck.pl in Red Hat Linux 6.2 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. |
| FreeBSD allows local users to conduct a denial of service by creating a hard link from a device special file to a file on an NFS file system. |
| Internet Explorer 5.01 and earlier allows a remote attacker to create a reference to a client window and use a server-side redirect to access local files via that window, aka "Server-side Page Reference Redirect." |
| Microsoft Excel does not warn a user when a macro is present in a Symbolic Link (SYLK) format file. |
| Eudora 4.x allows remote attackers to bypass the user warning for executable attachments such as .exe, .com, and .bat by using a .lnk file that refers to the attachment, aka "Stealth Attachment." |
| Perl 5.004_04 and earlier follows symbolic links when running with the -e option, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/perl-eaXXXXX file. |
| script command in the util-linux package before 2.11n allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by setting a hardlink from the typescript log file to any file on the system, then having root execute the script command. |
| Joe text editor follows symbolic links when creating a rescue copy called DEADJOE during an abnormal exit, which allows local users to overwrite the files of other users whose joe session crashes. |
| Transsoft Broker 5.9.5.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and directories by uploading a .lnk (link) file that points to the target file. |
