NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rootlesskit package and not the rootlesskit package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

Rootless containers run with Podman, receive all traffic with a source IP address of 127.0.0.1 (including from remote hosts). This impacts containerized applications that trust localhost (127.0.01) connections by default and do not require authentication. This issue affects Podman 1.8.0 onwards.
