AI-suggested
A fix is available in the updated containers-common packages (version 0.70.0-1.hum1). Users should apply this update to receive the corrected seccomp profiles with masked equality comparisons. Until the update is applied, enforcing SELinux may provide some denial of vsock usage, but relying solely on the unfixed seccomp denies is not recommended.
Description
A flaw exists in the default seccomp profile used by Podman via containers-common, where deny rules for AF_VSOCK and NETLINK_AUDIT socket arguments compare unmasked 64-bit values. The Linux kernel truncates these arguments to 32 bits, allowing bypass of the deny rules by setting upper bits. Enforcing SELinux may still block vsock, but relying solely on the unfixed seccomp denies is insufficient. Updated seccomp profiles with masked comparisons are recommended.
