The podman packages version podman-1.6.4-32.el7_9 as released for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extras via RHSA-2022:2190 (<a href="https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:2190">https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:2190</a>) included an incorrect version of podman that was missing multiple bug and security fixes. One of the fixes regressed in that update was the fix for <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2020-14370">CVE-2020-14370</a>, that was previously corrected in the podman packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extras via RHSA-2020:5056 (<a href="https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:5056">https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:5056</a>). The <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-2739">CVE-2022-2739</a> was assigned to this security regression and it is specific to the podman packages produced by Red Hat. The original issue - <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2020-14370">CVE-2020-14370</a> - could possibly allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information stored in environment variables.
