From 5b2e71dc5b939378303daecab708c4042ee3677d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: TomSweeneyRedHat Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2021 19:53:03 -0500 Subject: Validate passed in timezone from tz option Erik Sjolund reported an issue where a badly formated file could be passed into the `--tz` option and then the date in the container would be badly messed up: ``` erik@laptop:~$ echo Hello > file.txt erik@laptop:~$ podman run --tz=../../../home/erik/file.txt --rm -ti docker.io/library/alpine cat /etc/localtime Hello erik@laptop:~$ podman --version podman version 3.0.0-rc1 erik@laptop:~$ ``` This fix checks to make sure the TZ passed in is a valid value and then proceeds with the rest of the processing. This was first reported as a potential security issue, but it was thought not to be. However, I thought closing the hole sooner rather than later would be good.
