CVE-2026-63294

A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve root command execution on the host system. During the import or unpacking of crafted image or backup archives, LXD fails to properly validate and confine the backup.yaml file when it exists as a symbolic link. An attacker can...

JLSEC-2026-1264 GNU gzip contains a vulnerability in the gzexe utility related to insecure temporary file...

GNU gzip contains a vulnerability in the gzexe utility related to insecure temporary file handling. When the mktemp utility is not available in the user’s PATH, gzexe falls back to constructing a temporary file path based solely on the process ID PID. This predictable filename is created without...

PT-2026-71306

A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary file read and write operations on the host system. When importing or unpacking an image archive, LXD fails to validate whether the metadata.yaml file is a symbolic link. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a...

CVE-2026-73030

A flaw was found in unearth. This path traversal vulnerability exists in the iswithindirectory function, which fails to normalize paths before validation. This allows ../ sequences to bypass directory containment checks. An attacker can exploit this by supplying malicious tar archives with symlin...

CVE-2026-72694

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 attacker can trick...

CVE-2026-72693

openvt -u is intended to identify the owner of the current VT and then execute login as that user from a privileged context. In the documented kbrequest/init usage, the ownership test in authenticateuser relies on stat"/proc//fd/0". stat on /proc//fd/0 follows the symlink to the underlying TTY...

CVE-2026-72694

CVE-2026-72694 describes a local privilege escalation in MRTG. When MRTG runs as root and then drops privileges, a low-privileged attacker can exploit a symlink-following vulnerability in the PID file path to trick the root process into changing ownership of an arbitrary existing file to the daem...

CopyEscape: Taking Over Docker Hosts with docker cp

Imperva Red Team uncovered CVE-2026-17106 , a container-to-host arbitrary file-write vulnerability in Docker’s docker cp command. Docker later confirmed that the same CVE also affected sbx cp when copying files out of Docker Sandboxes. A malicious container or sandbox could exploit the copy proce...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-72694

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - 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...

DEBIAN-CVE-2026-73030

unearth through 0.18.2, fixed in commit 6c78164, contains a path traversal vulnerability in the iswithindirectory function that fails to normalize paths before validation, allowing ../ sequences to bypass directory containment checks. Attackers can supply malicious tar archives with symlink membe...

CVE-2026-63622

A flaw was found in libvirt. A local attacker, specifically a process running as the confined swtpm user, could exploit a symlink-following vulnerability in the virFileChownFiles function. By planting a symbolic link within the swtpm state directory, the attacker could trick the root-level libvir...
