A privilege escalation flaw was found in Podman. This flaw allows an attacker to publish a malicious image to a public registry. Once this image is downloaded by a potential victim, the vulnerability is triggered after a user runs the 'podman top' command. This action gives the attacker access to the host filesystem, leading to information disclosure or denial of service.\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `github.com/containers/podman/v3 < 3.4`\n- `github.com/containers/psgo < 1.7.2`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade to a patched release:\n\n- `github.com/containers/podman/v3 3.4`\n- `github.com/containers/psgo 1.7.2`","depth":"midnight","depthScore":61,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":48.4,"likelihood":0.8,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
