1 CVE-2021-27645 415 DoS 2021-02-24 2022-11-04
1.9
 None Local Medium Not required None None Partial
The nameserver caching daemon (nscd) in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.29 through 2.33, when processing a request for netgroup lookup, may crash due to a double-free, potentially resulting in degraded service or Denial of Service on the local system. This is related to netgroupcache.c.
2 CVE-2018-20482 835 DoS 2018-12-26 2021-11-30
1.9
 None Local Medium Not required None None Partial
GNU Tar through 1.30, when --sparse is used, mishandles file shrinkage during read access, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite read loop in sparse_dump_region in sparse.c) by modifying a file that is supposed to be archived by a different user's process (e.g., a system backup running as root).
3 CVE-2018-10846 385 2018-08-22 2023-02-13
1.9
 None Local Medium Not required Partial None None
A cache-based side channel in GnuTLS implementation that leads to plain text recovery in cross-VM attack setting was found. An attacker could use a combination of "Just in Time" Prime+probe attack in combination with Lucky-13 attack to recover plain text using crafted packets.
4 CVE-2017-18018 362 2018-01-04 2018-01-19
1.9
 None Local Medium Not required None Partial None
In GNU Coreutils through 8.29, chown-core.c in chown and chgrp does not prevent replacement of a plain file with a symlink during use of the POSIX "-R -L" options, which allows local users to modify the ownership of arbitrary files by leveraging a race condition.
5 CVE-2015-1197 2015-02-19 2022-10-20
1.9
 None Local Medium Not required None Partial None
cpio 2.11, when using the --no-absolute-filenames option, allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in an archive.
6 CVE-2010-1160 59 2010-04-16 2010-06-07
1.9
 None Local Medium Not required None Partial None
GNU nano before 2.2.4 does not verify whether a file has been changed before it is overwritten in a file-save operation, which allows local user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an attacker-owned file that is being edited by the victim.
7 CVE-2009-1215 362 2009-04-01 2017-08-17
1.9
 None Local Medium Not required None Partial None
Race condition in GNU screen 4.0.3 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/screen-exchange temporary file.
8 CVE-2005-3349 59 2005-11-18 2011-10-18
1.9
 None Local Medium Not required Partial None None
GNU Gnump3d before 2.9.8 allows local users to modify or delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the index.lok temporary file.
9 CVE-2005-3011 59 2005-09-21 2018-10-19
1.2
 None Local High Not required None Partial None
The sort_offline function for texindex in texinfo 4.8 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
10 CVE-2002-0435 2002-07-26 2008-09-05
1.2
 None Local High Not required None Partial None
Race condition in the recursive (1) directory deletion and (2) directory move in GNU File Utilities (fileutils) 4.1 and earlier allows local users to delete directories as the user running fileutils by moving a low-level directory to a higher level as it is being deleted, which causes fileutils to chdir to a ".." directory that is higher than expected, possibly up to the root file system.
11 CVE-2001-1301 2001-08-07 2008-09-05
1.2
 None Local High Not required None Partial None
rcs2log, as used in Emacs 20.4, xemacs 21.1.10 and other versions before 21.4, and possibly other packages, allows local users to modify files of other users via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
12 CVE-2000-0959 2000-12-19 2017-10-10
1.2
 None Local High Not required None Partial None
glibc2 does not properly clear the LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT and LD_DEBUG environmental variables when a program is spawned from a setuid program, which could allow local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.
