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. 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...

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...
