Description

In Kubernetes versions 1.5.x, 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 1.8.x, and prior to version 1.9.6, the kubectl cp command insecurely handles tar data returned from the container, and can be caused to overwrite arbitrary local files.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < v1.9.61.5.0 ≤ v ≤ 1.5.91.6.0 ≤ v ≤ 1.6.141.7.0 ≤ v ≤ 1.7.171.8.0 ≤ v ≤ 1.8.151.9.0 ≤ v ≤ 1.9.51.5.x1.6.x1.7.x1.8.x
Affected range stops below v1.9.6, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
