Description
A flaw was found in the default seccomp profile used by Podman via containers-common. Deny rules for AF_VSOCK and NETLINK_AUDIT compared socket arguments with unmasked 64-bit equality. Because the kernel truncates those int arguments to 32 bits, setting upper bits can bypass the deny rules.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Enforcing SELinux may still deny vsock; do not rely on the unfixed seccomp denies; ship SCMP_CMP_MASKED_EQ profile updates.
