Fixed In Version: podman 4.0, psgo 1.7.2
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
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.

Description Nick Tait 2022-03-30 23:13:01 UTC 
For containers which utilize user namepsaces, running 'podman top' triggers the nsenter binary inside a container. The root issue is in github.com/containers/psgo. Podman top doesn't join the user namespace of the container. This could enable an attacker to create a malicious nsenter binary which provides erroneous results to podman top, make syscalls, and other operations beyond what is normally allowed for the container.
