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...

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.

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...

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...
