CVE-2019-18466: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')

May 24, 2022 (updated July 18, 2023)

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.
