PT-2026-84237

A local vulnerability in the Winlogbeat Windows installer caused runtime files to be placed in a directory writable by unprivileged users. A low-privileged attacker with existing access to the system could pre-position malicious filesystem links, causing a subsequent elevated Winlogbeat operation...

gzip: gzip: Arbitrary file overwrite via insecure temporary file handling in gzexe utility

A flaw was found in the gzexe utility of GNU gzip. When the mktemp utility is not available, gzexe creates temporary files with predictable names based on the process ID. A local attacker can exploit this by pre-creating a symbolic link to an arbitrary file at the predicted temporary file path...

CVE-2026-80663

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intel Speed Select daemon. A local unprivileged user can exploit a symlink vulnerability in the daemon's pidfile handling. By pre-creating a symbolic link at the fixed pidfile path under /tmp, the attacker can cause the root-run daemon instance to write into...

USN-8707-1: openCryptoki vulnerabilities

It was discovered that primitive decoders in openCryptoki produced integer underflows when the encoded length was zero. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger out-of-bounds reads. CVE-2026-40253 It was discovered that openCryptoki incorrectly handled symlinks. An attacker in the...

USN-8707-1 opencryptoki vulnerabilities

It was discovered that primitive decoders in openCryptoki produced integer underflows when the encoded length was zero. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger out-of-bounds reads. CVE-2026-40253 It was discovered that openCryptoki incorrectly handled symlinks. An attacker in the...

SUSE CVE-2026-70626

NLTK versions before 3.9.4 contain a symlink escape vulnerability in CorpusReader.open that allows local attackers to read arbitrary files outside the corpus root. The vulnerability exists because path validation is lexical and does not account for symlink resolution, enabling attackers to place...

CVE-2026-62383

A flaw was found in nltk. A local attacker can exploit a symlink-based vulnerability in the IPIPANCorpusReader methods. By placing a symbolic link in the corpus root directory and invoking specific methods, an attacker can bypass security validation and read arbitrary files accessible to the...

CVE-2026-70626

A flaw was found in NLTK. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to read arbitrary files outside of the intended directory. By placing symbolic links symlinks within the corpus root, an attacker can bypass path validation in the CorpusReader.open function, which does not properly account for...

cmd/go: golang: Go 'go bug' command: Arbitrary file overwrite via symlink attack

A flaw was found in the 'go bug' command within the Go programming language tools. This command writes to temporary files with predictable names. A local attacker with access to the system's temporary directory could exploit this by creating a symbolic link symlink with one of these predictable...

golang: Go os.Root: Symlink following vulnerability allows directory traversal

A flaw was found in the os.Root functionality of Go on Unix systems. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass intended directory restrictions by crafting a path that ends with a symbolic link and a trailing slash. When a file is opened in os.Root with such a path, the symbolic link is...

Amazon Linux 2 : kbd, --advisory ALAS2-2026-3885 (ALAS-2026-3885)

The version of kbd installed on the remote host is prior to 1.15.5-15. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3885 advisory. openvt -u is intended to identify the owner of the current VT and then execute login as that user from a privileged context. In the...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-82252

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - gitoxide before 0.52.1 follows symlinks when reading the worktree .gitmodules file, allowing attackers to inject out-of-repository bytes into submodule metadata...

Important: kbd

Issue Overview: openvt -u is intended to identify the owner of the current VT and then execute login as that user from a privileged context. In the documented kbrequest/init usage, the ownership test in authenticateuser relies on stat"/proc//fd/0". stat on /proc//fd/0 follows the symlink to the...

Amazon Linux 2 : mrtg, --advisory ALAS2-2026-3884 (ALAS-2026-3884)

The version of mrtg installed on the remote host is prior to 2.17.4-11. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3884 advisory. A flaw was found in MRTG. When the MRTG daemon is started as a root user and subsequently drops privileges, a local, low-privileged...

Important: mrtg

Issue Overview: A flaw was found in MRTG. When the MRTG daemon is started as a root user and subsequently drops privileges, a local, low-privileged attacker can exploit a symbolic link symlink following vulnerability. By influencing or pre-placing a symlink in the process ID PID file path, the...
