Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9566)
The vulnerability allows a malicious container to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following issue in podman kube play command. A malicious container can overwrite host files when the kube file contains a ConfigMap or Secret volume mount and the volume already contains a symlink to a host file.
Note, a malicious container can write to arbitrary files on the host BUT the attacker only controls the target path not the contents that will be written to the file.
