FreeBSD : podman -- files outside build context may be included via malicious Git repo or tar archive (fe2e8bdc-ff48-4166-b285-59822c7cf473)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 322271

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fe2e8bdc-ff48-4166-b285-59822c7cf473 advisory.

The Podman developers report:
Building a Dockerfile using an ADD or COPY instruction accessing a malicious Git repository or tar archive could cause files outside the build context directory to be included in the build context or copied into the build.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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.
