SCA: security update for github.com/containers/libpod (GHSA-9h63-7qf6-mv6r)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413282

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in podman before 1.7.0. File permissions for non-root users running in a privileged
 container are not correctly checked. This flaw can be abused by a low-privileged user inside the container
 to access any other file in the container, even if owned by the root user inside the container. It does
 not allow to directly escape the container, though being a privileged container means that a lot of
 security features are disabled when running the container. The highest threat from this vulnerability is
 to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-20188)
