______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes
is now available.
Description:
This update for podman fixes the following issues:
Security issue fixed:
- This release resolves CVE-2020-14370, in which environment variables
could be leaked between containers created using the Varlink API
(bsc#1176804).
Non-security issues fixed:
- add dependency to timezone package or podman fails to build a container
(bsc#1178122)
- Install new auto-update system units
- Update to v2.1.1 (bsc#1178392):
* Changes
- The `podman info` command now includes the cgroup manager Podman is
using.
* API
- The REST API now includes a Server header in all responses.
- Fixed a bug where the Libpod and Compat Attach endpoints could
terminate early, before sending all output from the container.
- Fixed a bug where the Compat Create endpoint for containers did not
properly handle the Interactive parameter.
- Fixed a bug where the Compat Kill endpoint for containers could
continue to run after a fatal error.
- Fixed a bug where the Limit parameter of the Compat List endpoint
for Containers did not properly handle a limit of 0 (returning
nothing, instead of all containers) [#7722].
- The Libpod Stats endpoint for containers is being deprecated and
will be replaced by a similar endpoint with additional features in a
future release.
- Changes in v2.1.0
* Features
- A new command, `podman image mount`, has been added. This allows for
an image to be mounted, read-only, to inspect its contents without
creating a container from it [#1433].
- The `podman save` and `podman load` commands can now create and load
archives containing multiple images [#2669].
- Rootless Podman now supports all `podman network` commands, and
rootless containers can now be joined to networks.
- The performance of `podman build` on `ADD` and `COPY` instructions
has been greatly improved, especially when a `.dockerignore` is
present.
- The `podman run` and `podman create` commands now support a new mode
for the `--cgroups` option, `--cgroups=split`. Podman will create
two cgroups under the cgroup it was launched in, one for the
container and one for Conmon. This mode is useful for running Podman
in a systemd unit, as it ensures that all processes are retained in
systemd's cgroup hierarchy [#6400].
- The `podman run` and `podman create` commands can now specify
options to slirp4netns by using the `--network` option as follows:
`--net slirp4netns:opt1,opt2`. This allows for, among other things,
switching the port forwarder used by slirp4netns away from rootlessport.
- The `podman ps` command now features a new option, `--storage`, to
show containers from Buildah, CRI-O and other applications.
- The `podman run` and `podman create` commands now feature a
`--sdnotify` option to control the behavior of systemd's sdnotify
with containers, enabling improved support for Podman in
`Type=notify` units.
- The `podman run` command now features a `--preserve-fds`
opton to pass file descriptors from the host into the container
[#6458].
- The `podman run` and `podman create` commands can now create
overlay volume mounts, by adding the `:O` option to a bind mount
(e.g. `-v /test:/test:O`). Overlay volume mounts will mount a directory
into a container from the host and allow changes to it, but not write
those changes back to the directory on the host.
- The `podman play kube` command now supports the Socket HostPath type
[#7112].
- The `podman play kube` command now supports read-only mounts.
- The `podman play kube` command now supports setting labels on pods
from Kubernetes metadata labels.
- The `podman play kube` command now supports setting container
restart policy [#7656].
- The `podman play kube` command now properly handles `HostAlias`
entries.
- The `podman generate kube` command now adds entries to `/etc/hosts`
from `--host-add` generated YAML as `HostAlias` entries.
- The `podman play kube` and `podman generate kube` commands now
properly support `shareProcessNamespace` to share the PID namespace
in pods.
- The `podman volume ls` command now supports the `dangling` filter to
identify volumes that are dangling (not attached to any container).
- The `podman run` and `podman create` commands now feature a
`--umask` option to set the umask of the created container.
- The `podman create` and `podman run` commands now feature a `--tz`
option to set the timezone within the container [#5128].
- Environment variables for Podman can now be added in the
`containers.conf` configuration file.
- The `--mount` option of `podman run` and `podman create` now
supports a new mount type, `type=devpts`, to add a `devpts` mount to
the container. This is useful for containers that want to mount
`/dev/` from the host into the container, but still create a
terminal.
- The `--security-opt` flag to `podman run` and `podman create` now
supports a new option, `proc-opts`, to specify options for the
container's `/proc` filesystem.
- Podman with the `crun` OCI runtime now supports a new option to
`podman run` and `podman create`, `--cgroup-conf`, which allows for
advanced configuration of cgroups on cgroups v2 systems.
- The `podman create` and `podman run` commands now support a
`--override-variant` option, to override the architecture variant of
the image that will be pulled and ran.
- A new global option has been added to Podman, `--runtime-flags`,
which allows for setting flags to use when the OCI runtime is called.
- The `podman manifest add` command now supports the `--cert-dir`,
`--auth-file`, `--creds`, and `--tls-verify`
options.
* Security
- This release resolves CVE-2020-14370, in which environment variables
could be leaked between containers created using the Varlink API.
* Changes
- Podman will now retry pulling an image 3 times if a pull fails due
to network errors.
- The `podman exec` command would previously print error messages
(e.g. `exec session exited with non-zero exit code
-1`) when the command run exited with a non-0 exit code. It no
longer does this. The `podman exec` command will still exit with the same
exit code as the command run in the container did.
- Error messages when creating a container or pod with a name that is
already in use have been improved.
- For read-only containers running systemd init, Podman creates a
tmpfs filesystem at `/run`. This was previously limited to 65k in
size and mounted `noexec`, but is now unlimited size and mounted
`exec`.
- The `podman system reset` command no longer removes configuration
files for rootless Podman.
* API
- The Libpod API version has been bumped to v2.0.0 due to a breaking
change in the Image List API.
- Docker-compatible Volume Endpoints (Create, Inspect, List, Remove,
Prune) are now available!
- Added an endpoint for generating systemd unit files for containers.
- The `last` parameter to the Libpod container list endpoint now has
an alias, `limit` [#6413].
- The Libpod image list API new returns timestamps in Unix format, as
integer, as opposed to as strings
- The Compat Inspect endpoint for containers now includes port
information in NetworkSettings.
- The Compat List endpoint for images now features limited support for
the (deprecated) `filter` query parameter [#6797].
- Fixed a bug where the Compat Create endpoint for containers was not
correctly handling bind mounts.
- Fixed a bug where the Compat Create endpoint for containers would
not return a 404 when the requested image was not present.
- Fixed a bug where the Compat Create endpoint for containers did not
properly handle Entrypoint and Command from images.
- Fixed a bug where name history information was not properly added in
the Libpod Image List endpoint.
- Fixed a bug where the Libpod image search endpoint improperly
populated the Description field of responses.
- Added a `noTrunc` option to the Libpod image search endpoint.
- Fixed a bug where the Pod List API would return null, instead
of an empty array, when no pods were present [#7392].
- Fixed a bug where endpoints that hijacked would do perform the
hijack too early, before being ready to send and receive data
[#7195].
- Fixed a bug where Pod endpoints that can operate on multiple
containers at once (e.g. Kill, Pause, Unpause, Stop) would not
forward errors from individual containers that failed.
- The Compat List endpoint for networks now supports filtering results
[#7462].
- Fixed a bug where the Top endpoint for pods would return both a 500
and 404 when run on a non-existent pod.
- Fixed a bug where Pull endpoints did not stream progress back to the
client.
- The Version endpoints (Libpod and Compat) now provide version in a
format compatible with Docker.
- All non-hijacking responses to API requests should not include
headers with the version of the server.
- Fixed a bug where Libpod and Compat Events endpoints did not send
response headers until the first event occurred [#7263].
- Fixed a bug where the Build endpoints (Compat and Libpod) did not
stream progress to the client.
- Fixed a bug where the Stats endpoints (Compat and Libpod) did not
properly handle clients disconnecting.
- Fixed a bug where the Ignore parameter to the Libpod Stop endpoint
was not performing properly.
- Fixed a bug where the Compat Logs endpoint for containers did not
stream its output in the correct format [#7196].
