CVE-2026-55686

Опубликовано: 26 июн. 2026

CVSS3: 5.8

Описание

Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 3.0.0 until 5.7.1, running a malicious container image where the WORKDIR path contains a symlink can create a directory or modify ownership on the host filesystem. Modified ownership is less likely to happen as that requires help from an untrusted/malicious process that mutates the host filesystem tree during dereferencing of the WORKDIR path, to trigger a race condition. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.7.1.

A flaw was found in Podman. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by running a malicious container image where the WORKDIR (working directory) path contains a symbolic link (symlink). This can lead to the creation of a directory or modification of ownership on the host filesystem, potentially impacting system integrity.

Отчет

A flaw was found in Podman where running a malicious container image with a WORKDIR path containing a symlink can create directories or modify ownership on the host filesystem. Exploitation requires the user to pull and run a specifically crafted malicious container image. Red Hat rates this as Moderate impact, consistent with the upstream assessment, because the attack requires a malicious image and the most severe outcome (ownership modification) requires additional help from an underprivileged user namespace.

Меры по смягчению последствий

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
