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.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
