HIGH 8.8EPSS 4.21%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

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.
