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. |
| 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. |
| Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 9.60 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a redirect that specifies a crafted URL. |
| mailscanner 4.55.10 and other versions before 4.74.16-1 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on certain temporary files used by the (1) f-prot-autoupdate, (2) clamav-autoupdate, (3) panda-autoupdate.new, (4) trend-autoupdate.new, and (5) rav-autoupdate.new scripts in /etc/MailScanner/autoupdate/, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-5140. |
| wyrd 1.4.3b allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the wyrd-tmp.[USERID] temporary file. |
| muttprint in muttprint 0.72d allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/muttprint.log temporary file. |
| The init script for Apache Geronimo on SUSE Linux follows symlinks when performing a chown operation, which might allow local users to obtain access to unspecified files or directories. |
| noip2 in noip2 2.1.7 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/noip2 temporary file. |
| pvpgn-support-installer in pvpgn 1.8.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/pvpgn-support-1.0.tar.gz temporary file. |
| screenie in screenie 1.30.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/.screenie.##### temporary file. |
| mtx-changer.Adic-Scalar-24 in bacula-common 2.4.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/mtx.##### temporary file, probably a related issue to CVE-2005-2995. |
| cmus-status-display in cmus 2.2.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/cmus-status temporary file. |
| ClamAV 0.92 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) temporary files used by the cli_gentempfd function in libclamav/others.c or on (2) .ascii files used by sigtool, when utf16-decode is enabled. |
| feynmf.pl in feynmf 1.08, as used in TeXLive 2007, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the feynmf$$.pl temporary file. |
| editcomment in crip 3.7 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/*.tag.tmp temporary file. |
| arb-kill in arb 0.0.20071207.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/arb_pids_*_* temporary file. |
| The e_hostname function in commands.c in BitchX 1.1a allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files when using the (1) HOSTNAME or (2) IRCHOST command. |
