NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpod package and not the libpod package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was discovered in Podman where it incorrectly allows containers when created to overwrite existing files in volumes, even if they are mounted as read-only. When a user runs a malicious container or a container based on a malicious image with an attached volume that is used for the first time, it is possible to trigger the flaw and overwrite files in the volume.This issue was introduced in version 1.6.0.
