NVD Description

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

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.
