|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2017-8806 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Postgresql | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Postgresql | 2026-06-17 | 3.6 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| The Debian pg_ctlcluster, pg_createcluster, and pg_upgradecluster scripts, as distributed in the Debian postgresql-common package before 181+deb9u1 for PostgreSQL (and other packages related to Debian and Ubuntu), handled symbolic links insecurely, which could result in local denial of service by overwriting arbitrary files. | |||||
| CVE-2017-8108 | 1 Cisofy | 1 Lynis | 2026-06-17 | 4.6 MEDIUM | 7.8 HIGH |
| Unspecified tests in Lynis before 2.5.0 allow local users to write to arbitrary files or possibly gain privileges via a symlink attack on a temporary file. | |||||
| CVE-2017-7549 | 2 Openstack, Redhat | 2 Instack-undercloud, Openstack | 2026-06-17 | 3.3 LOW | 6.4 MEDIUM |
| A flaw was found in instack-undercloud 7.2.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Platform Pike, 6.1.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Platform Oacta, 5.3.0 as packaged in Red Hat OpenStack Newton, where pre-install and security policy scripts used insecure temporary files. A local user could exploit this flaw to conduct a symbolic-link attack, allowing them to overwrite the contents of arbitrary files. | |||||
| CVE-2017-7501 | 1 Rpm | 1 Rpm | 2026-06-17 | 4.6 MEDIUM | 7.8 HIGH |
| 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. | |||||
| CVE-2017-7500 | 1 Rpm | 1 Rpm | 2026-06-17 | 7.2 HIGH | 7.3 HIGH |
| It was found that rpm did not properly handle RPM installations when a destination path was a symbolic link to a directory, possibly changing ownership and permissions of an arbitrary directory, and RPM files being placed in an arbitrary destination. An attacker, with write access to a directory in which a subdirectory will be installed, could redirect that directory to an arbitrary location and gain root privilege. | |||||
| CVE-2017-7418 | 1 Proftpd | 1 Proftpd | 2026-06-17 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| 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. | |||||
| CVE-2017-6981 | 1 Apple | 2 Iphone Os, Mac Os X | 2026-06-17 | 9.3 HIGH | 7.8 HIGH |
| 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-2017-5188 | 1 Opensuse | 1 Open Build Service | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 5.0 MEDIUM |
| The bs_worker code in open build service before 20170320 followed relative symlinks, allowing reading of files outside of the package source directory during build, allowing leakage of private information. | |||||
| CVE-2017-2916 | 1 Meetcircle | 2 Circle With Disney, Circle With Disney Firmware | 2026-06-17 | 9.0 HIGH | 8.8 HIGH |
| An exploitable vulnerability exists in the /api/CONFIG/restore functionality of Circle with Disney running firmware 2.0.1. Specially crafted network packets can cause an arbitrary file to be overwritten. An attacker can send an HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability. | |||||
| CVE-2017-2619 | 3 Debian, Redhat, Samba | 3 Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux, Samba | 2026-06-17 | 6.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| Samba before versions 4.6.1, 4.5.7 and 4.4.11 are vulnerable to a malicious client using a symlink race to allow access to areas of the server file system not exported under the share definition. | |||||
| CVE-2017-2390 | 1 Apple | 4 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Tvos and 1 more | 2026-06-17 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| 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. | |||||
| CVE-2017-1301 | 1 Ibm | 1 Tivoli Storage Manager | 2026-06-17 | 3.6 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| 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. | |||||
| CVE-2017-18925 | 1 Openr | 1 Opentmpfiles | 2026-06-17 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| opentmpfiles through 0.3.1 allows local users to take ownership of arbitrary files because d entries are mishandled and allow a symlink attack. | |||||
| CVE-2017-18188 | 1 Openr | 1 Opentmpfiles | 2026-06-17 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| OpenRC opentmpfiles through 0.1.3, when the fs.protected_hardlinks sysctl is turned off, allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files by creating a hard link inside a directory on which "chown -R" will be run. | |||||
| CVE-2017-18078 | 3 Debian, Opensuse, Systemd Project | 3 Debian Linux, Leap, Systemd | 2026-06-17 | 4.6 MEDIUM | 7.8 HIGH |
| 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. | |||||
| CVE-2017-16611 | 3 Canonical, Debian, X | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Libxfont | 2026-06-17 | 4.9 MEDIUM | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| In libXfont before 1.5.4 and libXfont2 before 2.0.3, a local attacker can open (but not read) files on the system as root, triggering tape rewinds, watchdogs, or similar mechanisms that can be triggered by opening files. | |||||
| CVE-2017-15357 | 1 Arqbackup | 1 Arq | 2026-06-17 | 6.9 MEDIUM | 7.4 HIGH |
| 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. | |||||
| CVE-2017-15111 | 1 Keycloak-httpd-client-install Project | 1 Keycloak-httpd-client-install | 2026-06-17 | 3.6 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| keycloak-httpd-client-install versions before 0.8 insecurely creates temporary file allowing local attackers to overwrite other files via symbolic link. | |||||
| CVE-2017-15097 | 1 Redhat | 5 Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Server, Enterprise Linux Server Aus and 2 more | 2026-06-17 | 7.2 HIGH | 6.5 MEDIUM |
| Privilege escalation flaws were found in the Red Hat initialization scripts of PostgreSQL. An attacker with access to the postgres user account could use these flaws to obtain root access on the server machine. | |||||
| CVE-2017-12258 | 1 Cisco | 1 Unified Communications Manager | 2026-06-17 | 4.3 MEDIUM | 6.1 MEDIUM |
| 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. | |||||
