CVSS v3.1 |
| A vulnerability in the web-based UI of Cisco Unified Communications Manager could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute a cross-frame scripting (XFS) attack. The vulnerability exists because the affected software does not provide sufficient protections for HTML inline frames (iframes). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by directing a user of the affected software to an attacker-controlled web page that contains a malicious HTML inline frame. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct click-jacking or other types of client-side browser attacks. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve60993. |
| An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.5 is affected. The issue involves the "iBooks" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app that uses symlinks. |
| Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) allows local users to read, change the ownership of, or have other unspecified impact on arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /var/tmp/abrt/*/maps, (2) /tmp/jvm-*/hs_error.log, (3) /proc/*/exe, (4) /etc/os-release in a chroot, or (5) an unspecified root directory related to librpm. |
| php-fpm allows local users to write to or create arbitrary files via a symlink attack. |
| The pulp-gen-nodes-certificate script in Pulp before 2.8.3 allows local users to leak the keys or write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. |
| The _write_config function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/mongodb/service.py, reset_configuration function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/postgresql/service/config.py, write_config function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/redis/service.py, _write_mycnf function in trove/guestagent/datastore/mysql/service.py, InnoBackupEx::_run_prepare function in trove/guestagent/strategies/restore/mysql_impl.py, InnoBackupEx::cmd function in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, MySQLDump::cmd in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, InnoBackupExIncremental::cmd function in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/mysql_impl.py, _get_actual_db_status function in trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/cassandra/system.py and trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/cassandra/service.py, and multiple class CbBackup methods in trove/guestagent/strategies/backup/experimental/couchbase_impl.py in Openstack DBaaS (aka Trove) as packaged in Openstack before 2015.1.0 (aka Kilo) allows local users to write to configuration files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. |
| Nagios 4.3.2 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a hard link attack on the Nagios init script file, related to CVE-2016-8641. |
| The Hotspot component in OpenJDK8 as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. |
| AMD fglrx-driver before 15.9 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack. NOTE: This vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-7723. |
| AMD fglrx-driver before 15.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack. |
| Argument injection vulnerability in devscripts before 2.15.7 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a crafted symlink and crafted filename. |
| mktexlsr revision 36855, and before revision 36626 as packaged in texlive allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. NOTE: this vulnerability exists due to the reversion of a fix of CVE-2015-5700. |
| Mercurial prior to version 4.3 is vulnerable to a missing symlink check that can malicious repositories to modify files outside the repository |
| PostgreSQL 10.x before 10.1, 9.6.x before 9.6.6, 9.5.x before 9.5.10, 9.4.x before 9.4.15, 9.3.x before 9.3.20, and 9.2.x before 9.2.24 runs under a non-root operating system account, and database superusers have effective ability to run arbitrary code under that system account. PostgreSQL provides a script for starting the database server during system boot. Packages of PostgreSQL for many operating systems provide their own, packager-authored startup implementations. Several implementations use a log file name that the database superuser can replace with a symbolic link. As root, they open(), chmod() and/or chown() this log file name. This often suffices for the database superuser to escalate to root privileges when root starts the server. |
| IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a local attacker to launch a symlink attack. IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-archive Client creates temporary files insecurely. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link from a temporary file to various files on the system, which could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with elevated privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 125163. |
| The setpermissions function in the auto-updater in Arq before 5.9.7 for Mac allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the updater binary itself. |
| An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3 is affected. macOS before 10.12.4 is affected. tvOS before 10.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.2 is affected. The issue involves symlink mishandling in the "libarchive" component. It allows local users to change arbitrary directory permissions via unspecified vectors. |
| In Kibana X-Pack security versions prior to 5.4.3 if a Kibana user opens a crafted Kibana URL the result could be a redirect to an improperly initialized Kibana login screen. If the user enters credentials on this screen, the credentials will appear in the URL bar. The credentials could then be viewed by untrusted parties or logged into the Kibana access logs. |
| It was found that versions of rpm before 4.13.0.2 use temporary files with predictable names when installing an RPM. An attacker with ability to write in a directory where files will be installed could create symbolic links to an arbitrary location and modify content, and possibly permissions to arbitrary files, which could be used for denial of service or possibly privilege escalation. |
| ProFTPD before 1.3.5e and 1.3.6 before 1.3.6rc5 controls whether the home directory of a user could contain a symbolic link through the AllowChrootSymlinks configuration option, but checks only the last path component when enforcing AllowChrootSymlinks. Attackers with local access could bypass the AllowChrootSymlinks control by replacing a path component (other than the last one) with a symbolic link. The threat model includes an attacker who is not granted full filesystem access by a hosting provider, but can reconfigure the home directory of an FTP user. |
