Short explanation

A vulnerability exists in Podman from version 4.4.0 until 5.8.8 and 6.1.3 where a specific image annotation causes user-supplied container creation restrictions to be silently ignored.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability allows user-supplied container creation restrictions to be silently ignored, permitting image-controlled checkpoint state to select weaker sandbox settings and capabilities.

What should be done?

  • Follow the vendor advisories and updates
  • Update the affected versions
Note on uncertainty

The sources give limited detail on some technical conditions. Review the chain of evidence below before deciding how to act.

Show the technical text from the sources

Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 4.4.0 until 5.8.8 and 6.1.3, podman run treats an image carrying the io.podman.annotations.checkpoint.runtime.name annotation as a checkpoint and silently ignores user-supplied container creation restrictions such as --cap-drop=ALL, allowing image-controlled checkpoint state to select weaker sandbox settings and capabilities. Rootless containers are not affected because checkpoint and restore are unavailable in that mode. This issue is fixed in versions 5.8.8 and 6.1.3.
