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 remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2022:2190 advisory.

  - client_golang is the instrumentation library for Go applications in Prometheus, and the promhttp package     in client_golang provides tooling around HTTP servers and clients. In client_golang prior to version     1.11.1, HTTP server is susceptible to a Denial of Service through unbounded cardinality, and potential     memory exhaustion, when handling requests with non-standard HTTP methods. In order to be affected, an     instrumented software must use any of `promhttp.InstrumentHandler*` middleware except `RequestsInFlight`;
    not filter any specific methods (e.g GET) before middleware; pass metric with `method` label name to our     middleware; and not have any firewall/LB/proxy that filters away requests with unknown `method`.
    client_golang version 1.11.1 contains a patch for this issue. Several workarounds are available, including     removing the `method` label name from counter/gauge used in the InstrumentHandler; turning off affected     promhttp handlers; adding custom middleware before promhttp handler that will sanitize the request method     given by Go http.Request; and using a reverse proxy or web application firewall, configured to only allow     a limited set of methods. (CVE-2022-21698)

  - A flaw was found in Podman, where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty default permissions.
    A vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine), where containers were started incorrectly with non-     empty inheritable Linux process capabilities.
