What it is about
Podman ist ein Container-Laufzeit- und Management-Tool, mit dem Benutzer Container ausführen und verwalten können, ohne einen separaten Daemon-Prozess zu benötigen. Podman is a container runtime and management tool that allows users to run and manage containers without the need for a separate daemon process. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in Podman ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen.
Under what conditions?
Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
