A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3_symlink_req in glusterfs server which allows symlink destinations to point to file paths outside of the gluster volume. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to create arbitrary symlinks pointing anywhere on the server and execute arbitrary code on glusterfs server nodes.

All five vulnerabilities remain exploitable via symlinks pointing to relative paths. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit one of these vulnerabilities to force a server to resolve target paths and achieve a maximum impact of arbitrary code execution.

CVE-2018-10928 glusterfs: Improper resolution of symlinks allows for privilege escalation
The Gluster filesystem allows for symlink destinations to point to filepaths outside of the mounted volume. An attacker could exploit this via a crafted request to create arbitrary files and subsequently execute arbitrary privileged commands.

The Security War in File Systems: An Empirical Study from A Vulnerability-Centric Perspective
## Abstract
This paper presents a systematic study on the security of modern file systems,
following a vulnerability-centric perspective. Specifically,
we collected 377 file system vulnerabilities committed to the CVE database in the past 20 years.
We characterize them from four dimensions that include why the vulnerabilities appear,
how the vulnerabilities can be exploited, what consequences can arise,
and how the vulnerabilities are fixed. This way, we build a deep understanding of
the attack surfaces faced by file systems, the threats imposed by the attack surfaces,
and the good and bad practices in mitigating the attacks in file systems. We envision that our study
will bring insights toward
