NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream podman-remote package and not the podman-remote package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The tar extraction routines in moby/go-archive (Unpack, UnpackLayer, Untar/UntarUncompressed, and the ApplyLayer helpers) do not confine filesystem operations to the destination directory. The extractor decides where each archive entry lands using lexical string checks and then performs the filesystem operation on a path that is resolved by the OS, so links introduced by the archive can be followed out of the destination directory. An attacker who controls the contents of an archive can create or overwrite files at arbitrary paths writable by the extracting process.
