Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2022-1227 (CCN-225583)

Assigned:2021-07-15
Published:2021-07-15
Updated:2022-07-23
Summary: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.
