The upstream report describes this issue as follows:
When installing a maliciously created Ansible role using 'ansible-galaxy role install', arbitrary files the user has access to can be overwritten. The malicious role must contain a symlink with an absolute path to the target file, followed by a file of the same name (as the symlink) with the contents to write to the target.
