Description
A flaw was found in Podman. When a container image with checkpoint annotations is executed using the podman run command, Podman treats the image as a restored checkpoint and ignores user-specified sandboxing options, such as dropped privileges. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user to run a specially crafted image, leading to a container sandbox bypass and potential execution with elevated system privileges.
