CVSS v3.1 |
| GOG Galaxy 2.0.0.2 suffers from Missing SSL Certificate Validation. An attacker who controls the local network, DNS, or a proxy can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack to intercept update requests and replace installer or update packages with malicious files. |
| Tencent Docs Desktop 3.9.20 and earlier suffers from Missing SSL Certificate Validation in the update component. |
| Razer Synapse 3 Chroma Connect Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Razer Synapse 3. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the Razer Chroma SDK installer. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the installer to delete arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-26373. |
| Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When reading a config value, Git strips any trailing carriage return and line feed (CRLF). When writing a config entry, values with a trailing CR are not quoted, causing the CR to be lost when the config is later read. When initializing a submodule, if the submodule path contains a trailing CR, the altered path is read resulting in the submodule being checked out to an incorrect location. If a symlink exists that points the altered path to the submodule hooks directory, and the submodule contains an executable post-checkout hook, the script may be unintentionally executed after checkout. This vulnerability is fixed in v2.43.7, v2.44.4, v2.45.4, v2.46.4, v2.47.3, v2.48.2, v2.49.1, and v2.50.1. |
| 7-Zip before 25.01 does not always properly handle symbolic links during extraction. |
| NVIDIA Container Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the update-ldcache hook, where an attacker could cause a link following by using a specially crafted container image. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to data tampering and denial of service. |
| Razer Synapse 3 RazerPhilipsHueUninstall Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Razer Synapse 3. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the Philips HUE module installer. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the installer to delete arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-26375. |
| Razer Synapse 3 Macro Module Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Razer Synapse 3. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the Razer Synapse Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to delete arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-26374. |

| Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4, repositories with submodules can be crafted in a way that exploits a bug in Git whereby it can be fooled into writing files not into the submodule's worktree but into a `.git/` directory. This allows writing a hook that will be executed while the clone operation is still running, giving the user no opportunity to inspect the code that is being executed. The problem has been patched in versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4. If symbolic link support is disabled in Git (e.g. via `git config --global core.symlinks false`), the described attack won't work. As always, it is best to avoid cloning repositories from untrusted sources. |
| Dell Alienware Command Center 5.x (AWCC), versions prior to 5.10.2.0, contains an Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')" vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of Privileges. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: sanity check symbolic link size
Syzkiller reports a "KMSAN: uninit-value in pick_link" bug.
This is caused by an uninitialised page, which is ultimately caused
by a corrupted symbolic link size read from disk.
The reason why the corrupted symlink size causes an uninitialised
page is due to the following sequence of events:
1. squashfs_read_inode() is called to read the symbolic
link from disk. This assigns the corrupted value
3875536935 to inode->i_size.
2. Later squashfs_symlink_read_folio() is called, which assigns
this corrupted value to the length variable, which being a
signed int, overflows producing a negative number.
3. The following loop that fills in the page contents checks that
the copied bytes is less than length, which being negative means
the loop is skipped, producing an uninitialised page.
This patch adds a sanity check which checks that the symbolic
link size is not larger than expected.
