How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:8 criu to version 0:3.18-5.module+el8.10.0+90337+0d7b6e74 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in Buildah (and subsequently Podman Build) which allows containers to mount arbitrary locations on the host filesystem into build containers. A malicious Containerfile can use a dummy image with a symbolic link to the root filesystem as a mount source and cause the mount operation to mount the host root filesystem inside the RUN step. The commands inside the RUN step will then have read-write access to the host filesystem, allowing for full container escape at build time.
