Moderate: container-tools:rhel8 security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Published Apr 28, 2020 · Updated Feb 5, 2026

Summary

The container-tools module contains tools for working with containers, notably podman, buildah, skopeo, and runc.

Security Fix(es):

* runc: volume mount race condition with shared mounts leads to information leak/integrity manipulation (CVE-2019-19921)

* containers/image: Container images read entire image manifest into memory (CVE-2020-1702)

* podman: incorrectly allows existing files in volumes to be overwritten by a container when it is created (CVE-2020-1726)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
