Alpine: multiple podman packages: security update to 4.9.4-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427638

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)
