RHSA-2026:52807
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-08-10 11:23 - Updated: 2026-09-06 09:09A flaw was found in moby/go-archive. The tar extraction routines in the component do not properly restrict filesystem operations to the intended destination directory. An attacker who controls the contents of an archive can exploit this by including symbolic links, allowing them to create or overwrite files at arbitrary locations on the system where the archive is being extracted. This could lead to unauthorized modification of system files or potentially arbitrary code execution.

A flaw was found in BuildKit, a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts. A malicious client with valid permissions to access the BuildKit control API can craft a special upload request. This request allows files to escape from the BuildKit-controlled state directory, potentially leading to unauthorized modification or deletion of files on the system.
