A link following weakness was discovered in the Server Backup Manager file restore. If an SBM administrator restores files to a path that is writeable by a non-privileged user, it is possible for that user to replace with a symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary files.
This issue does not affect hosting control panel self-service file restores.

Users must use one of the following options:
* Download the user files to a zip/tar and provide that package to the user to unpack, or unpack the files as the target user account via su or sudo \-u.
