Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-09-19 06:14:19 UTC 
A vulnerability has been discovered in `kubectl cp` that allows a
combination of two  symlinks to copy a file outside of its destination
directory. This could be used to allow an attacker to place a netfarious
file using a symlink, outside of the destination tree.

Comment 7 Hardik Vyas 2019-09-20 14:29:12 UTC 
heketi shipped with Gluster uses very old Kubernetes version which does not provide support for symlink in 'kubectl cp'.
Comment 8 Hardik Vyas 2019-09-20 14:29:16 UTC 
Statement:

This issue did not affect the version of Kubernetes(embedded in heketi) shipped with Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 as it does not include the symlink support for kubectl cp.
