NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream container-tools:rhel8/containernetworking-plugins package and not the container-tools:rhel8/containernetworking-plugins package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

An information disclosure vulnerability was found in containers/podman in versions before 2.0.5. When using the deprecated Varlink API or the Docker-compatible REST API, if multiple containers are created in a short duration, the environment variables from the first container will get leaked into subsequent containers. An attacker who has control over the subsequent containers could use this flaw to gain access to sensitive information stored in such variables.
