Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, Linux, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Nilfs2: Fixed potential deadlocks caused by newly created symlinks. Syzbot reported that pagesymlink, called by nilfssymlink, triggers memory reclamation involving the filesystem layer. This can lead to circular lock dependencies...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Golang-glog

When logs are written to a widely-writable directory the default, an unprivileged attacker may predict the log file path of a privileged process and pre-create a symbolic link to a sensitive file in its place. When that privileged process runs, it will follow the created symbolic link and overwri...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in busybox

A flaw was discovered in BusyBox. This vulnerability allows an attacker to modify files outside of the intended extraction directory by creating a malicious tar archive containing unvalidated hardlink or symlink entries. If the tar archive is extracted with elevated privileges, this flaw can lead...

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 oddjob

A race condition was identified in the mkhomedir tool included with the oddjob package in versions prior to 0.34.5 and 0.34.6. During the home creation process, mkhomedir copies the /etc/skel directory into the newly created home directory and changes its ownership to the home’s user, without...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in rsync

There is a path traversal vulnerability in rsync. This vulnerability stems from a behavior enabled by the --inc-recursive option, which is a default-enabled option for many client options and can be enabled by the server even if not explicitly enabled by the client. When using the --inc-recursive...

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 cups

OpenPrinting CUPS is an open-source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.8 and earlier, when starting the cupsd server with a Listen configuration item pointing to a symbolic link, the cupsd process could perform arbitrary chmod operations on the target...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in node-tar

The npm package “tar” also known as node-tar in versions prior to 4.4.16, 5.0.8, and 6.1.7 has vulnerabilities related to arbitrary file creation/overwriting and arbitrary code execution. node-tar aims to ensure that any file whose location would be modified by a symbolic link is not extracted...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in php-pear

In ArchiveTar before version 1.4.14, symlinks can reference targets outside of the extracted archive. This is a separate vulnerability from CVE-2020-36193...

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 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 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 open-vm-tools

A issue was discovered in open-vm-tools 2009.03.18-154848. Local users can bypass the intended access restrictions on mounting shares through a symlink attack that exploits a realpath race condition in mount.vmhgfs also known as hgfsmounter...

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 Python 3.11

It allows the extraction filter to be ignored, enabling symlink targets to point outside the destination directory, and modifying some file metadata. This vulnerability affects users who use the TarFile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall or TarFile.extract, with the...
