The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 does not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD.

(1) core/tests/test_memmap.py, (2) core/tests/test_multiarray.py, (3) f2py/f2py2e.py, and (4) lib/tests/test_io.py in NumPy before 1.8.1 allow local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

The Netlink implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 does not provide a mechanism for authorizing socket operations based on the opener of a socket, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and modify network configurations by using a Netlink socket for the (1) stdout or (2) stderr of a setuid program.

It was reported that watchman in openshift node-utils creates /var/run/watchman.pid and /var/log/watchman.ouput with world writable permission.

Candlepin before 0.7.24, as used in Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager before 1.2.1, does not properly check manifest signatures, which allows local users to modify manifests.

DNS rebinding vulnerability found in etcd 3.3.1 and earlier. An attacker can control his DNS records to direct to localhost, and trick the browser into sending requests to localhost (or any other address).

Red Hat Directory Server 8.0, when running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, uses insecure permissions for the redhat-idm-console script, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying the script.

The GlusterFS functionality in Red Hat Storage Management Console 2.0, Native Client, and Server 2.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on multiple temporary files created by (1) tests/volume.rc, (2) extras/hook-scripts/S30samba-stop.sh, and possibly other vectors, different vulnerabilities than CVE-2012-4417.

xterm, including 192-7.el4 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and 208-3.1 in Debian GNU/Linux, sets the wrong group ownership of tty devices, which allows local users to write data to other users' terminals.

When updating a password in the rhvm database the ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool tools before 1.1.3 fail to correctly check for the current password if it is expired. This would allow access to an attacker with access to change the password on accounts with expired passwords, gaining access to those accounts.

gzexe in the gzip package on Red Hat Linux 5.0 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

A Insecure Temporary File vulnerability in grub-once of grub2 in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4, openSUSE Factory allows local attackers to truncate arbitrary files. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4 grub2 versions prior to 2.06-150400.7.1. SUSE openSUSE Factory grub2 versions prior to 2.06-18.1.

The make_oidjoins_check script in PostgreSQL 7.4.5 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
