NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream podman package and not the podman package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.24 relevant fixed versions and status.

A path traversal vulnerability was found in gvproxy, the network forwarder provided by the gvisor-tap-vsock package. The unauthenticated /services/forwarder/expose endpoint does not validate the caller-supplied socket path, allowing an attacker to delete arbitrary files on the host system.
