NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream podman-catatonit package and not the podman-catatonit package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A malicious container image can consume an unbounded amount of memory when being pulled to a container runtime host, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux using podman, or OpenShift Container Platform. An attacker can use this flaw to trick a user, with privileges to pull container images, into crashing the process responsible for pulling the image. This flaw affects containers-image versions before 5.2.0.
