Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Golang-glog

When logs are written to a widely-writable directory the default, an unprivileged attacker may predict the log file path of a privileged process and pre-create a symbolic link to a sensitive file in its place. When that privileged process runs, it will follow the created symbolic link and overwri...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in php-pear

In ArchiveTar before version 1.4.14, symlinks can reference targets outside of the extracted archive. This is a separate vulnerability from CVE-2020-36193...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Firefox

Uploading files that contain symlinks may have allowed an attacker to trick a user into submitting sensitive data to a malicious website. This vulnerability affects Firefox 115...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Python 3.11

It allows the extraction filter to be ignored, enabling symlink targets to point outside the destination directory, and modifying some file metadata. This vulnerability affects users who use the TarFile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall or TarFile.extract, with the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Firefox, Thunderbird

When resolving a symbolic link such as file:///proc/self/fd/1, an error message may be generated if the symbolic link resolves to a string containing uninitialized memory in the buffer. This bug only affects Thunderbird on Unix-based operating systems Android, Linux, MacOS. Windows is unaffected...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in node-tar

The npm package “tar” also known as node-tar in versions prior to 4.4.16, 5.0.8, and 6.1.7 has vulnerabilities related to arbitrary file creation/overwriting and arbitrary code execution. node-tar aims to ensure that any file whose location would be modified by a symbolic link is not extracted...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in RustC

Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language designed for performance and safety, especially safe concurrency. The Rust Security Response WG was notified that the std::fs::removedirall standard library function is vulnerable due to a race condition that enables symlink creation...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in open-vm-tools

A issue was discovered in open-vm-tools 2009.03.18-154848. Local users can bypass the intended access restrictions on mounting shares through a symlink attack that exploits a realpath race condition in mount.vmhgfs also known as hgfsmounter...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in avahi

The avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh script within the Debian avahi package, as of version 0.8-4, is executed as the root user via /etc/network/if-up.d/avahi-daemon. This script allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service or create arbitrary empty files through a symlink attack on files located...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in sudo

The “sudoedit” personality of Sudo before version 1.9.5 might allow a local unprivileged user to perform arbitrary directory existence tests by exploiting a race condition in the “sudoedit.c” code, which allows a user-controlled directory to be replaced with a symlink pointing to an arbitrary pat...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Ansible

There exists an absolute path traversal attack within the Ansible automation platform. This flaw allows an attacker to create a malicious Ansible role and have the victim execute that role. A symbolic link can be used to overwrite a file that is outside of the extraction path...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in exim4

Exim 4 before 4.94.2 allowed execution with unnecessary privileges. Since Exim operates as root in the log directory which is owned by a non-root user, a symlink or hard link attack could allow overwriting of critical root-owned files anywhere in the filesystem...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Golang-1.23

The “go bug” command writes to two files with predictable names in the system’s temporary directory for example, "/tmp". An attacker who has access to the temporary directory can create a symbolic link in one of these files, causing “go bug” to overwrite the target of the symbolic link...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in unrar-nonfree

UnRAR before version 6.2.3 allowed extraction of files outside of the destination folder using symlink chains...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Firefox and Thunderbird

When resolving a symbolic link, a race condition may occur, where the buffer passed to readlink might actually be smaller than necessary. This bug only affects Firefox on Unix-based operating systems Android, Linux, MacOS. Windows is unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR 115.6,...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Samba

All versions of Samba prior to 4.15.5 are vulnerable to a malicious client that can use a server symlink to determine whether a file or directory exists in a part of the server file system that is not exported under the share definition. This attack can only succeed if SMB1 with unix extensions i...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in squashfs-tools

The squashfsopendir function in unsquash-2.c within Squashfs-Tools 4.5 enables Directory Traversal, another vulnerability distinct from CVE-2021-40153. A squashfs filesystem that includes a symbolic link, along with files under the same filename, can cause unsquashfs to first create the symbolic...

CVE-2026-90616

A flaw was found in Flatpak. A malicious sandboxed application can exploit missing symlink protection during the creation and bind-mounting of app data directories. By manipulating attacker-controlled path components, a malicious symlink can redirect these directories to arbitrary locations on th...
