How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/containers/podman/v4/libpod to version 4.3.0-rc1 or higher.

Overview

github.com/containers/podman/v4/libpod is a tool for managing containers and images, volumes mounted into those containers, and pods made from groups of containers. Podman is based on libpod, a library for container lifecycle management that is also contained in this repository. The libpod library provides APIs for managing containers, pods, container images, and volumes.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to incorrect handling of the supplementary groups.

Note: This is exploitable only if the attacker has direct access to the affected container where supplementary groups are used to set access permissions and are able to execute a binary code in that container.
