SCA: security update for github.com/containers/podman/v4, github.com/containers/podman/v5 (GHSA-874v-pj72-92f3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412498

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A flaw was found in Buildah (and subsequently Podman Build) which allows containers to mount arbitrary
 locations on the host filesystem into build containers. A malicious Containerfile can use a dummy image
 with a symbolic link to the root filesystem as a mount source and cause the mount operation to mount the
 host root filesystem inside the RUN step. The commands inside the RUN step will then have read-write
 access to the host filesystem, allowing for full container escape at build time. (CVE-2024-1753)
