NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ceph.src package and not the ceph.src package as distributed by RHEL.

The filepath.Walk and filepath.WalkDir functions are documented as not following symbolic links, but both functions are susceptible to a TOCTOU (time of check/time of use) race condition where a portion of the path being walked is replaced with a symbolic link while the walk is in progress.
