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 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 imagemagick

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Before versions 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, authorization based on the "domain=" path was checked before the final file could be opened or used. A symlink swap was used to bypass the policy-denied read/writ...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in unbound

Unbound from NLnet Labs, including versions up to and including 1.12.0, and NSD from NLnet Labs, including versions up to and including 4.3.3, contain a local vulnerability that allows for a local symlink attack. When creating the PID file, Unbound and NSD either create the file if it does not...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in nano

A vulnerability was discovered in GNU Nano, which allows for potential privilege escalation through an insecure temporary file. If Nano is terminated while editing, a file that it saves to an emergency file, with permissions set to those of the running user, creates an opportunity for attackers t...

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 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 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 grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2. When performing a symlink lookup from a ReiserFS filesystem, grub’s ReiserFS module uses user-controlled parameters from the filesystem’s geometry to determine the internal buffer size. However, it improperly checks for integer overflows. A maliciously crafted...

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 unrar-nonfree

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

CVE-2026-70460

A path traversal and symlink vulnerability in rsync allows a malicious sender with write access to write files outside the intended directory. By exploiting symbolic links in conjunction with the --partial-dir or --backup-dir options, an attacker can bypass path restrictions to modify arbitrary...
