UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to UNIX Symbolic Link Symlink Following via improper handling of symlinks in input configuration file processing, including --files-from, --password-file, and filter merge files. An attacker can access files outside the intended directory ...

Symlink Attack

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack via the makepath function when handling relative paths with symlink components in --relative mode. An attacker can write files outside the intended destination directory by crafting malicious relative paths containing...

SUSE CVE-2026-13622

A symlink following vulnerability was found in KubeVirt's virt-handler migration proxy. During live migration, virt-handler dials Unix sockets inside the target virt-launcher pod via /proc//root/ paths using net.Dial without symlink protection. These socket paths reside in qemu-owned directories...

SUSE CVE-2026-63293

A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary file read and write operations on the host system. When importing or unpacking an image archive, LXD fails to validate whether the metadata.yaml file is a symbolic link. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a...

SUSE CVE-2026-63294

A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve root command execution on the host system. During the import or unpacking of crafted image or backup archives, LXD fails to properly validate and confine the backup.yaml file when it exists as a symbolic link. An attacker can...

SUSE CVE-2026-73584

A flaw was found in sblim-sfcb. A local, low-privileged attacker can exploit a race condition during privileged instance migration by manipulating a temporary file in the /tmp directory. By repeatedly recreating a symbolic link, the attacker can redirect privileged output to an arbitrary file. Th...

SUSE CVE-2026-73585

A flaw was found in sblim-cmpi-base. Insecure temporary file creation in the provider registration scripts allows a local unprivileged user to perform a symlink attack. By creating a symlink in a world-writable directory, an attacker can redirect privileged writes to an arbitrary file during scri...

CVE-2026-70460

rsync 2.3.3 before 3.5.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a malicious sender to escape the module root by exploiting symlinks within the module file tree when using --partial-dir or --backup-dir options. Attackers with write access to place a symlink under the module root, or w...

AZL-95828 CVE-2026-70460 affecting package rsync for versions less than 3.5.0-1

rsync 2.3.3 before 3.5.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a malicious sender to escape the module root by exploiting symlinks within the module file tree when using --partial-dir or --backup-dir options. Attackers with write access to place a symlink under the module root, or w...

AZL-95771 CVE-2026-53803 affecting package rsync for versions less than 3.5.0-1

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink following vulnerability that allows local attackers to overwrite arbitrary files by placing a symlink at a predictable output path such as --log-file, --write-batch, or daemon-mode log and statistics paths. Attackers can exploit rsync's failure to reject...

CVE-2026-53800

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability in the --remove-source-files feature that allows attackers with symlink creation access to cause arbitrary file deletion. Attackers can atomically substitute a symlink for a source file between transfer completion and the unlink...

CVE-2026-53801

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability in the sender's directory scanning logic that allows attackers to cause the sender to enumerate and transfer files outside the module root's intended subtree. Attackers who can create or manipulate symlinks in a path component of...

CVE-2026-53799

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability that allows local attackers to cause rsync to apply arbitrary ACLs or extended attributes to unintended files by substituting a symlink at a predictable destination path between the file write and the subsequent aclsetfile or...

CVE-2026-53802

rsync before 3.5.0 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability that allows attackers to read files accessible to the rsync daemon process by exploiting symlink following in input configuration file handling including --files-from, --password-file, and filter merge files. Attackers can place a...
