Summary
The podman tool manages pods, container images, and containers. It is part of the libpod library, which is for applications that use container pods. Container pods is a concept in Kubernetes.
Security Fix(es):
* go/parser: golang: Calling any of the Parse functions containing deeply nested literals can cause a panic/stack exhaustion (CVE-2024-34155)
* encoding/gob: golang: Calling Decoder.Decode on a message which contains deeply nested structures can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion (CVE-2024-34156)
* go/build/constraint: golang: Calling Parse on a "// +build" build tag line with deeply nested expressions can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion (CVE-2024-34158)
* Podman: Buildah: cri-o: FIPS Crypto-Policy Directory Mounting Issue in containers/common Go Library (CVE-2024-9341)
* Buildah: Podman: Improper Input Validation in bind-propagation Option of Dockerfile RUN --mount Instruction (CVE-2024-9407)
* buildah: Buildah allows arbitrary directory mount (CVE-2024-9675)
* Podman: Buildah: CRI-O: symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library can cause Denial of Service (DoS) (CVE-2024-9676)

Vulnerabilities 7
-
High 7.8
Buildah: buildah allows arbitrary directory mount
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) int…
-
High 7.5
Stack exhaustion in Decoder.Decode in encoding/gob
Calling Decoder.Decode on a message which contains deeply nested structures can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion. This is a follow-up to CVE-2022-30635.
-
High 7.5
Stack exhaustion in Parse in go/build/constraint
Calling Parse on a "// +build" build tag line with deeply nested expressions can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.
-
Medium 6.5
Podman: buildah: cri-o: symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library can cause denial of service (dos)
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 au…

Medium 5.4
Podman: buildah: cri-o: fips crypto-policy directory mounting issue in containers/common go library
A flaw was found in Go. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the sy…

Medium 4.7
Buildah: podman: improper input validation in bind-propagation option of dockerfile run --mount instruction
A vulnerability exists in the bind-propagation option of the Dockerfile RUN --mount instruction. The system does not properly validate the input passed to this option, allowing users to pass arbitrary parameters to the mount instruction. This issue can be exp…
-
Medium 4.3
Stack exhaustion in all Parse functions in go/parser
Calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains deeply nested literals can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.
