NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openshift-kube-apiserver package and not the openshift-kube-apiserver package as distributed by RHEL.

On Unix systems, opening a file in an os.Root improperly follows symlinks to locations outside of the Root when the final path component of the a path is a symbolic link and the path ends in /. For example, 'root.Open("symlink/")' will open "symlink" even when "symlink" is a symbolic link pointing outside of the root.
