An issue was discovered in Podman in libpod before 1.6.0. It resolves a symlink in the host context during a copy operation from the container to the host, because an undesired glob operation occurs. An attacker could create a container image containing particular symlinks that, when copied by a victim user to the host filesystem, may overwrite existing files with others from the host.
CWE-59
CVE-2019-1836
A vulnerability in the system shell for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) mode could allow an authenticated, local attacker to use symbolic links to overwrite system files. These system files may be sensitive and should not be overwritable by non-root users. The attacker would need valid device credentials. The vulnerability is due to incorrect symbolic link verification of directory paths when they are used in the system shell. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the device and providing crafted user input to specific symbolic link CLI commands. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to overwrite system files that should be restricted. This vulnerability has been fixed in software version 14.1(1i).
CVE-2019-18232
SafeNet Sentinel LDK License Manager, all versions prior to 7.101(only Microsoft Windows versions are affected) is vulnerable when configured as a service. This vulnerability may allow an attacker with local access to create, write, and/or delete files in system folder using symbolic links, leading to a privilege escalation. This vulnerability could also be used by an attacker to execute a malicious DLL, which could impact the integrity and availability of the system.
CVE-2019-17445
An issue was discovered in Eracent EDA, EPA, EPM, EUA, FLW, and SUM Agent through 10.2.26. The agent executable, when installed for non-root operations (scanning), can be forced to copy files from the filesystem to other locations via Symbolic Link Following.
CVE-2019-16896
In K7 Ultimate Security 16.0.0117, the module K7BKCExt.dll (aka the backup module) improperly validates the administrative privileges of the user, allowing an arbitrary file write via a symbolic link attack with file restoration functionality.
CVE-2019-15627
Versions 10.0, 11.0 and 12.0 of the Trend Micro Deep Security Agent are vulnerable to an arbitrary file delete attack, which may lead to availability impact. Local OS access is required. Please note that only Windows agents are affected.
