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 glib2.0

A issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before version 2.66.8. When the gfilereplace function is used with GFILECREATEREPLACEDESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly creates the target of the symlink as an empty file. This could potentially have security implications ...

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.
