Descriptions

An incorrect handling of the supplementary groups in the Podman container engine might lead to the sensitive information disclosure or possible data modification if an attacker has direct access to the affected container where supplementary groups are used to set access permissions and is able to execute a binary code in that container.

Un manejo incorrecto de los grupos suplementarios en el motor de contenedores Podman podría conllevar a una divulgación de información confidencial o una posible modificación de datos si un atacante presenta acceso directo al contenedor afectado donde son usados grupos suplementarios para establecer permisos de acceso y es capaz de ejecutar un código binario en ese contenedor

The buildah package provides a tool for facilitating building OCI container images. Among other things, buildah enables you to: Create a working container, either from scratch or using an image as a starting point; Create an image, either from a working container or using the instructions in a Dockerfile; Build both Docker and OCI images. Issues addressed include denial of service and information leakage vulnerabilities.
