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 lokaler Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in Podman ausnutzen, um einen nicht näher spezifizierten Angriff durchzuführen, und um Informationen offenzulegen..

Under what conditions?

Only with access to the device or an account on it. Often the second step after a phishing email.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • einen nicht näher spezifizierten Angriff durchzuführen
  • Informationen offenzulegen.

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • RESF Rocky Linux
  • Oracle Linux
  • Open Source Podman <5.8.6
  • Open Source Podman <6.0.0

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:
