CVE-2016-4679 1 Apple 4 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Tvos and 1 more 2025-04-20 N/A
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.1 is affected. macOS before 10.12.1 is affected. tvOS before 10.0.1 is affected. watchOS before 3.1 is affected. The issue involves the "libarchive" component, which allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a crafted archive containing a symlink.
CVE-2015-5701 1 Tug 1 Texlive 2025-04-20 N/A
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.
CVE-2016-6253 1 Netbsd 1 Netbsd 2025-04-20 N/A
mail.local in NetBSD versions 6.0 through 6.0.6, 6.1 through 6.1.5, and 7.0 allows local users to change ownership of or append data to arbitrary files on the target system via a symlink attack on the user mailbox.
CVE-2016-7619 1 Apple 3 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Watchos 2025-04-20 N/A
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "libarchive" component, which allows local users to write to arbitrary files via vectors related to symlinks.
CVE-2015-7723 1 Amd 1 Fglrx-driver 2025-04-20 N/A
AMD fglrx-driver before 15.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack.
CVE-2015-7724 1 Amd 1 Fglrx-driver 2025-04-20 N/A
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.
CVE-2017-12172 2 Postgresql, Redhat 4 Postgresql, Enterprise Linux, Rhel Software Collections and 1 more 2025-04-20 N/A
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.
CVE-2016-10374 1 Perltidy Project 1 Perltidy 2025-04-20 5.5 Medium
perltidy through 20160302, as used by perlcritic, check-all-the-things, and other software, relies on the current working directory for certain output files and does not have a symlink-attack protection mechanism, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by creating a symlink, as demonstrated by creating a perltidy.ERR symlink that the victim cannot delete.
CVE-2015-7529 3 Canonical, Redhat, Sos Project 9 Ubuntu Linux, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 6 more 2025-04-20 7.8 High
sosreport in SoS 3.x allows local users to obtain sensitive information from sosreport files or gain privileges via a symlink attack on an archive file in a temporary directory, as demonstrated by sosreport-$hostname-$date.tar in /tmp/sosreport-$hostname-$date.
CVE-2015-3149 1 Redhat 8 Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Hpc Node and 5 more 2025-04-20 N/A
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.
CVE-2017-6981 1 Apple 2 Iphone Os, Mac Os X 2025-04-20 N/A
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.
CVE-2015-6240 1 Redhat 1 Ansible 2025-04-20 N/A
The chroot, jail, and zone connection plugins in ansible before 1.9.2 allow local users to escape a restricted environment via a symlink attack.

In the cron package through 3.0pl1-128 on Debian, and through 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 on Ubuntu, the postinst maintainer script allows for group-crontab-to-root privilege escalation via symlink attacks against unsafe usage of the chown and chmod programs.
CVE-2017-2390 1 Apple 4 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Tvos and 1 more 2025-04-20 N/A
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.
