Description Marcus Meissner 2018-06-18 06:33:34 UTC

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.

Comment 1 Marcus Meissner 2018-06-18 06:34:02 UTC

is to be in CAASP 3 and 4 and also in Factory.

no IBS maitnainer assigned yet.

Comment 2 Valentin Rothberg 2018-06-18 06:51:20 UTC

Thanks for opening the issue. Factory isn't affected anymore, as we're already on v0.6.2 and I just opened an SR for v0.6.3 an hour ago.

In case of CaaSP, I think that we can update it. Note that Podman isn't run by default in _any_ deployment; it's sole purpose is to help debugging a CRI-O cluster (tech preview).

Marcus, can we close this bug? The update is finally available but I am hesitant to close it as I am not part of the security team.
