{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2019-11251","details":"The Kubernetes kubectl cp command in versions 1.1-1.12, and versions prior to 1.13.11, 1.14.7, and 1.15.4 allows a combination of two symlinks provided by tar output of a malicious container to place a file outside of the destination directory specified in the kubectl cp invocation. This could be used to allow an attacker to place a nefarious file using a symlink, outside of the destination tree.","modified":"2025-07-14T07:00:09.115630Z","published":"2020-02-03T16:15:00Z","withdrawn":"2025-08-28T16:59:12Z","upstream":["CVE-2019-11251"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-11251"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-11251"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kubernetes","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/kubernetes@1.0?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-11251.json"}},{"package":{"name":"kubernetes","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/kubernetes@1.0?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-11251.json"}},{"package":{"name":"kubernetes","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/kubernetes@1.0?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-11251.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
