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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-59"],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-03/msg00040.html","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:4269","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1744588","https://github.com/containers/libpod/commit/5c09c4d2947a759724f9d5aef6bac04317e03f7e","https://github.com/containers/libpod/compare/v1.5.1...v1.6.0"],"products":["libpod_project:libpod"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:59:25.448946135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-18466","score":0.01386,"percentile":0.72237,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-r34v-gqmw-qvgj","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-r34v-gqmw-qvgj","summary":"Podman Symlink Vulnerability","modified":"2024-08-20T20:59:00.946168Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containers/podman/v4","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v4","ranges":["<1.6.0"],"fixed":["1.6.0"]}]},{"id":"GO-2023-1942","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2023-1942","summary":"Podman Symlink Vulnerability in github.com/containers/libpod","modified":"2026-03-03T04:54:01.177247Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containers/libpod","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/libpod","ranges":["<1.6.0"],"fixed":["1.6.0"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containers/podman","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containers/podman/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v2","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containers/podman/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v3","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containers/podman/v4","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v4","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
