| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005-05-02 | CVE-2005-0824 | Link Following vulnerability in Mathopd 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. | 5.5 |
| 2005-03-25 | CVE-2005-0587 | Link Following vulnerability in Mozilla 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. | 6.5 |
| 2004-12-31 | CVE-2004-1901 | Link Following vulnerability in Gentoo Linux and Portage Portage before 2.0.50-r3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a hard link attack on the lockfiles. | 5.5 |
| 2004-10-18 | CVE-2004-1603 | Link Following vulnerability in Cpanel 9.4.1 cPanel 9.4.1-RELEASE-64 follows hard links, which allows local users to (1) read arbitrary files via the backup feature or (2) chown arbitrary files via the .htaccess file when Front Page extensions are enabled or disabled. | 5.5 |
| 2004-09-28 | CVE-2004-0689 | Link Following vulnerability in multiple products KDE before 3.3.0 does not properly handle when certain symbolic links point to "stale" locations, which could allow local users to create or truncate arbitrary files. | 7.1 |
| 2004-04-15 | CVE-2004-0217 | Link Following vulnerability in Symantec Antivirus Scan Engine 4.0/4.3 The LiveUpdate capability (liveupdate.sh) in Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.0 and 4.3 for Red Hat Linux allows local users to create or append to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/LiveUpdate.log. | 7.0 |
| 2003-12-31 | CVE-2003-1233 | Link Following vulnerability in Pedestalsoftware Integrity Protection Driver 1.3 Pedestal Software Integrity Protection Driver (IPD) 1.3 and earlier allows privileged attackers, such as rootkits, to bypass file access restrictions to the Windows kernel by using the NtCreateSymbolicLinkObject function to create a symbolic link to (1) \Device\PhysicalMemory or (2) to a drive letter using the subst command. | 9.8 |
| 2003-11-17 | CVE-2003-0844 | Link Following vulnerability in Schroepl MOD Gzip 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. | 7.1 |
| 2003-08-18 | CVE-2003-0578 | Link Following vulnerability in IBM U2 Universe 10.0.0.9 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. | 7.8 |
| 2003-08-18 | CVE-2003-0517 | Link Following vulnerability in Mgetty Project Mgetty 1.1.28 faxrunqd.in in mgetty 1.1.28 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on JOB files. | 5.5 |
