Podman: buildah: container breakout by using --jobs=2 and a race condition when building a malicious containerfile

Description
A vulnerability was found in `podman build` and `buildah.` This issue occurs in a container breakout by using --jobs=2 and a race condition when building a malicious Containerfile. SELinux might mitigate it, but even with SELinux on, it still allows the enumeration of files and directories on the host.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Mandatory access controls should limit the access of the process performing the build, on systems where they are enabled. SELinux enforces strict access controls by confining the build process (e.g., Podman) to specific domains like container_t. This prevents unauthorized access to sensitive host files and directories, even if a malicious Containerfile tries to exploit the --mount flag.
