8.6/10

Summary

A vulnerability was found in `podman build` and `buildah`. This issue occurs in a container breakout by using "--jobs=2" and a race condition when building a malicious "Containerfile". SELinux might mitigate it, but even with SELinux on, it still allows the enumeration of files and directories on the host. This vulnerability affects github.com/containers/buildah package versions through 1.33.11, 1.34.0 through 1.35.4, 1.36.0 through 1.37.6, and 1.38.0.

CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management

An effective privilege management infrastructure provides valid users with required access and privileges across heterogeneous technology environments. An application with a faulty privilege management infrastructure allows higher than authorized privileges or enables privilege escalation. This can lead to security incidents such as system infiltration, data breach, and complete system takeover.
