Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.15%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Rootless containers run with Podman, receive all traffic with a source IP address of 127.0.0.1 (including from remote hosts). This impacts containerized applications that trust localhost (127.0.01) connections by default and do not require authentication. This issue affects Podman 1.8.0 onwards.
