CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:NCVE-2019-18466
Medium (5.5) in libpod project libpod. EPSS 1.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/containers/podman/v4 1.6.0.
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.
