nodejs-tar: Insufficient symlink protection due to directory cache poisoning using symbolic links allowing arbitrary file creation and overwrite

A flaw was found in the npm package "tar" aka node-tar. Extracting tar files that contain two directories and a symlink with names containing Unicode values that normalize to the same value on Windows systems made it possible to bypass node-tar symlink checks on directories. This allows an...

A flaw was found in the npm package "tar" aka node-tar. Extracting tar files that contain both a directory and a symlink with the same name, where the symlink and directory names in the archive entry used backslashes as a path separator, made it possible to bypass node-tar symlink checks on...

The vulnerability in Node.js’s Node-tar module for processing tar archives stems from a flaw in the pathname limitation of the directory handling mechanism. This allows attackers to create, overwrite arbitrary files, and execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the Node.js module for processing tar archives with the Node-tar package is related to deficiencies in pathname restrictions for directories. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to create, overwrite arbitrary files, and execute arbitrary code using a specially...

GHSA-7372-Q459-JXHR pyxdg Arbitrary File Overwrite via Race Condition

Race condition in the xdg.BaseDirectory.getruntimedir function in pyxdg 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...

GHSA-28XP-G7F6-7MHF Syncthing vulnerable to symlink traversal and arbitrary file overwrite

Syncthing version 0.14.33 and older erronously versions symlinks when they are deleted. If a directory is then created with the same name, a file created in that directory, and the file deleted, it is moved into the symlink target. This can lead to symlink traversal resulting in arbitrary file...
