CVE-2024-1753

HIGH

Podman < 4.9.4 and < 5.0.1 - Unauthenticated Container Escape via Symbolic Link Mount

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

A flaw was found in Buildah (and subsequently Podman Build) which allows containers to mount arbitrary locations on the host filesystem into build containers. A malicious Containerfile can use a dummy image with a symbolic link to the root filesystem as a mount source and cause the mount operation to mount the host root filesystem inside the RUN step. The commands inside the RUN step will then have read-write access to the host filesystem, allowing for full container escape at build time.
