Descriptions

An information disclosure vulnerability was found in containers/podman in versions before 2.0.5. When using the deprecated Varlink API or the Docker-compatible REST API, if multiple containers are created in a short duration, the environment variables from the first container will get leaked into subsequent containers. An attacker who has control over the subsequent containers could use this flaw to gain access to sensitive information stored in such variables.

Se encontró una vulnerabilidad de divulgación de información en containers/podman en versiones anteriores a 2.0.5. Cuando se usa la API Varlink obsoleta o la API REST compatible con Docker, si son creados varios contenedores en un período corto, las variables de entorno desde el primer contenedor son filtradas hacia los contenedores posteriores. Un atacante que tenga control sobre los contenedores posteriores podría usar este fallo para conseguir acceso a información confidencial almacenada en tales variables
