How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:10 podman-docker to version 0:6.1.3-1.hum1 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:74861.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream podman-docker package and not the podman-docker package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the buildah/copier Go package. When used outside of Buildah by a non-root caller, a crafted tar archive containing malicious symlinks can escape the target extraction directory and create files outside the intended destination. Buildah itself uses chroot hardening and is not affected.
