The do_dump_data function in utils/opcontrol in OProfile 0.9.6 and earlier might allow local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted --session-dir argument in conjunction with a symlink attack on the opd_pipe file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1760.
CVE-2013-0200 2 Hp, Redhat 2 Linux Imaging And Printing Project, Enterprise Linux 2025-04-11 N/A
HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) through 3.12.4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/hpcupsfilterc_#.bmp, (2) /tmp/hpcupsfilterk_#.bmp, (3) /tmp/hpcups_job#.out, (4) /tmp/hpijs_#####.out, or (5) /tmp/hpps_job#.out temporary file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2722.
CVE-2010-1160 1 Gnu 1 Nano 2025-04-11 N/A
GNU nano before 2.2.4 does not verify whether a file has been changed before it is overwritten in a file-save operation, which allows local user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an attacker-owned file that is being edited by the victim.
CVE-2009-1299 1 Pulseaudio 1 Pulseaudio 2025-04-11 N/A
The pa_make_secure_dir function in core-util.c in PulseAudio 0.9.10 and 0.9.19 allows local users to change the ownership and permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/.esd-##### temporary file.
CVE-2010-0424 3 Fedorahosted, Paul Vixie, Redhat 3 Cronie, Vixie Cron, Enterprise Linux 2025-04-11 N/A
The edit_cmd function in crontab.c in (1) cronie before 1.4.4 and (2) Vixie cron (vixie-cron) allows local users to change the modification times of arbitrary files, and consequently cause a denial of service, via a symlink attack on a temporary file in the /tmp directory.
CVE-2014-1876 2 Oracle, Redhat 5 Openjdk, Enterprise Linux, Network Satellite and 2 more 2025-04-11 N/A
The unpacker::redirect_stdio function in unpack.cpp in unpack200 in OpenJDK 6, 7, and 8; Oracle Java SE 5.0u61, 6u71, 7u51, and 8; JRockit R27.8.1 and R28.3.1; and Java SE Embedded 7u51 does not securely create temporary files when a log file cannot be opened, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/unpack.log.
CVE-2009-5079 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2025-04-11 N/A
The (1) gendef.sh, (2) doc/fixinfo.sh, and (3) contrib/gdiffmk/tests/runtests.in scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a gro#####.tmp or /tmp/##### temporary file.
CVE-2009-5081 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2025-04-11 N/A
The (1) config.guess, (2) contrib/groffer/perl/groffer.pl, and (3) contrib/groffer/perl/roff2.pl scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier use an insufficient number of X characters in the template argument to the tempfile function, which makes it easier for local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0969.
CVE-2010-1626 3 Mysql, Oracle, Redhat 3 Mysql, Mysql, Enterprise Linux 2025-04-11 N/A
MySQL before 5.1.46 allows local users to delete the data and index files of another user's MyISAM table via a symlink attack in conjunction with the DROP TABLE command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-7247.
CVE-2010-4173 1 Openfabrics 1 Libsdp 2025-04-11 N/A
The default configuration of libsdp.conf in libsdp 1.1.104 and earlier creates log files in /tmp, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a (1) symlink or (2) hard link attack on the libsdp.log.##### temporary file.
CVE-2013-1888 2 Fedoraproject, Pypa 2 Fedora, Pip 2025-04-11 N/A

CVE-2014-1624 1 Python 1 Pyxdg 2025-04-11 N/A
Race condition in the xdg.BaseDirectory.get_runtime_dir function in python-xdg 0.25 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by pre-creating /tmp/pyxdg-runtime-dir-fallback-victim to point to a victim-owned location, then replacing it with a symlink to an attacker-controlled location once the get_runtime_dir function is called.
CVE-2022-3592 2 Fedoraproject, Samba 2 Fedora, Samba 2025-04-08 6.5 Medium
A symlink following vulnerability was found in Samba, where a user can create a symbolic link that will make 'smbd' escape the configured share path. This flaw allows a remote user with access to the exported part of the file system under a share via SMB1 unix extensions or NFS to create symlinks to files outside the 'smbd' configured share path and gain access to another restricted server's filesystem.
