Alpine: multiple podman packages: security update to 5.2.5-r0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 427639

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - A vulnerability was found in Buildah. Cache mounts do not properly validate that user-specified paths for
 the cache are within our cache directory, allowing a `RUN` instruction in a Container file to mount an
 arbitrary directory from the host (read/write) into the container as long as those files can be accessed
 by the user running Buildah. (CVE-2024-9675)

 - A vulnerability was found in Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O. A symlink traversal vulnerability in the
 containers/storage library can cause Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O to hang and result in a denial of service
 via OOM kill when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace
 (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). The containers/storage library will read /etc/passwd inside the
 container, but does not properly validate if that file is a symlink, which can be used to cause the
 library to read an arbitrary file on the host. (CVE-2024-9676)
