A flaw was found in crun where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions. A vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty inheritable Linux process capabilities. This flaw allows an attacker with access to programs with inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2022:1793 advisory.

  - A privilege escalation flaw was found in Podman. This flaw allows an attacker to publish a malicious image     to a public registry. Once this image is downloaded by a potential victim, the vulnerability is triggered     after a user runs the 'podman top' command. This action gives the attacker access to the host filesystem,     leading to information disclosure or denial of service. (CVE-2022-1227)

  - client_golang is the instrumentation library for Go applications in Prometheus, and the promhttp package     in client_golang provides tooling around HTTP servers and clients. In client_golang prior to version     1.11.1, HTTP server is susceptible to a Denial of Service through unbounded cardinality, and potential     memory exhaustion, when handling requests with non-standard HTTP methods. In order to be affected, an     instrumented software must use any of `promhttp.InstrumentHandler*` middleware except `RequestsInFlight`;
    not filter any specific methods (e.g GET) before middleware; pass metric with `method` label name to our     middleware; and not have any firewall/LB/proxy that filters away requests with unknown `method`.
    client_golang version 1.11.1 contains a patch for this issue. Several workarounds are available, including     removing the `method` label name from counter/gauge used in the InstrumentHandler; turning off affected     promhttp handlers; adding custom middleware before promhttp handler that will sanitize the request method     given by Go http.Request; and using a reverse proxy or web application firewall, configured to only allow     a limited set of methods.

  - A flaw was found in Podman, where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty default permissions.
    A vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine), where containers were started incorrectly with non-     empty inheritable Linux process capabilities.
