NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream podman package and not the podman package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

It has been discovered that podman before version 0.6.1 does not drop capabilities when executing a container as a non-root user. This results in unnecessary privileges being granted to the container.
