How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:unstable golang-github-containers-buildah.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-github-containers-buildah package and not the golang-github-containers-buildah package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the buildah/copier Go package. When used outside of Buildah by a non-root caller, a crafted tar archive containing malicious symlinks can escape the target extraction directory and create files outside the intended destination. Buildah itself uses chroot hardening and is not affected.
