CVE-2019-18466: Libpod Project Libpod

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Libpod Project Libpod: before 1.6.0 (fixed in 1.6.0)
