GHSA-5vpc-35f4-r8w6 · Severity: high · Ecosystem: go — Buildah allows build breakout using malicious Containerfiles and concurrent builds
A vulnerability was found in `podman build` and `buildah.` This issue occurs in a container breakout by using --jobs=2 and a race condition when building a malicious Containerfile. SELinux might mitigate it, but even with SELinux on, it still allows the enumeration of files and directories on the host.
