| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018-01-29 | CVE-2017-18078 | Link Following vulnerability in multiple products systemd-tmpfiles in systemd before 237 attempts to support ownership/permission changes on hardlinked files even if the fs.protected_hardlinks sysctl is turned off, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via vectors involving a hard link to a file for which the user lacks write access, as demonstrated by changing the ownership of the /etc/passwd file. | 7.8 |
| 2018-01-25 | CVE-2018-6198 | Link Following vulnerability in multiple products w3m through 0.5.3 does not properly handle temporary files when the ~/.w3m directory is unwritable, which allows a local attacker to craft a symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary files. | 4.7 |
| 2018-01-20 | CVE-2017-15111 | Link Following vulnerability in Keycloak-Httpd-Client-Install Project Keycloak-Httpd-Client-Install keycloak-httpd-client-install versions before 0.8 insecurely creates temporary file allowing local attackers to overwrite other files via symbolic link. | 5.5 |
| 2018-01-10 | CVE-2014-4996 | Link Following vulnerability in Vladtheenterprising Project Vladtheenterprising 0.2.0 lib/vlad/dba/mysql.rb in the VladTheEnterprising gem 0.2 for Ruby allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/my.cnf.#{target_host}. | 5.5 |
| 2018-01-08 | CVE-2014-5509 | Link Following vulnerability in Clipboard Project Clipboard clipedit in the Clipboard module for Perl allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/clipedit$$. | 5.5 |
| 2018-01-08 | CVE-2014-1859 | Link Following vulnerability in multiple products (1) core/tests/test_memmap.py, (2) core/tests/test_multiarray.py, (3) f2py/f2py2e.py, and (4) lib/tests/test_io.py in NumPy before 1.8.1 allow local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. | 5.5 |
| 2018-01-08 | CVE-2013-4364 | Link Following vulnerability in Redhat Openshift 1.0/2.0 (1) oo-analytics-export and (2) oo-analytics-import in the openshift-origin-broker-util package in Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1 and 2 allow local users to have unspecified impact via a symlink attack on an unspecified file in /tmp. | 7.8 |
| 2018-01-02 | CVE-2017-1000420 | Link Following vulnerability in Syncthing Syncthing version 0.14.33 and older is vulnerable to symlink traversal resulting in arbitrary file overwrite | 7.5 |
| 2017-12-29 | CVE-2014-4978 | Link Following vulnerability in multiple products The rs_filter_graph function in librawstudio/rs-filter.c in rawstudio might allow local users to truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /tmp/rs-filter-graph.png or (2) /tmp/rs-filter-graph. | 5.5 |
| 2017-12-05 | CVE-2016-1255 | Link Following vulnerability in Debian Postgresql-Common The pg_ctlcluster script in postgresql-common package in Debian wheezy before 134wheezy5, in Debian jessie before 165+deb8u2, in Debian unstable before 178, in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS before 129ubuntu1.2, in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS before 154ubuntu1.1, in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS before 173ubuntu0.1, in Ubuntu 17.04 before 179ubuntu0.1, and in Ubuntu 17.10 before 184ubuntu1.1 allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on a logfile in /var/log/postgresql. | 7.8 |
