EUVDB-ID: #VU103500

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions during the build process. A remote user can leverage usage of a --mount flag in RUN instructions in Containerfiles along with multi-stage builds with use of concurrently-executing build stages or multiple separate but concurrently-executing builds to expose content from the build host and perform read/write operations on the system with privileges of the podman system service.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
