Description Sage McTaggart 2022-11-22 20:16:31 UTC 
#1podman build ..." follows symlinks when reading .containerignore and .dockerignore
We've received this potential security issue with Podman, and 
although not said, it's really in Buildah.  I've asked one of our 
engineers (Aditya) to fix it upstream, but I think it might be wise to 
backport to Podman 4.1.1 as noted in the issue.

Please adivise next steps and setup any CVE's or BZ's as appropriate.
