NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream crun package and not the crun package as distributed by Debian.

An issue was discovered in crun before 0.10.5. With a crafted image, it doesn't correctly check whether a target is a symlink, resulting in access to files outside of the container. This occurs in libcrun/linux.c and libcrun/chroot_realpath.c.
