CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: podman (CVE-2022-1227)

high Nessus Plugin ID 173609

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of podman installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-1227 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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
