      "value": "A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary file read and write operations on the host system. When importing or unpacking an image archive, LXD fails to validate whether the metadata.yaml file is a symbolic link. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a crafted image archive with a symlinked metadata.yaml file pointing to target file paths on the host system."

      "value": "Una vulnerabilidad de seguimiento de enlaces en LXD permite a un atacante lograr operaciones arbitrarias de lectura y escritura de archivos en el sistema anfitrión. Al importar o descomprimir un archivo de imagen, LXD no valida si el archivo metadata.yaml es un enlace simbólico. Un atacante puede explotar esta falla al proporcionar un archivo de imagen especialmente diseñado con un archivo metadata.yaml con enlace simbólico que apunta a rutas de archivo de destino en el sistema anfitrión."
