Image scan error: open analyzer-fs permission denied

[d-t-w]

Description

Container scan fails with a permissions issue related to internal trivy directories:

> trivy --debug image factorhouse/kpow-ee:92.3
..
open /var/folders/sy/5ps2fmdj7t9bg8zbwvc3k27w0000gn/T/analyzer-fs-1955605263/file-2599813741: permission denied

Background

We push containers to ArtifactHub who scan them with trivy.

On 19/05/23 our containers (including historic ones that had previously scanned just fine) started to fail with this 'permission denied' error. See: artifacthub/hub#3152

Our container is fairly simple, it just contains a Java JAR file and little else.

Further, I find if I scan very old version of our container they work, up to version 73.

trivy --debug image operatr/kpow:73

operatr/kpow:73 (amazon 2 (Karoo))
==================================
Total: 507 (UNKNOWN: 0, LOW: 18, MEDIUM: 270, HIGH: 196, CRITICAL: 23)

From version 74 they fail.

trivy --debug image operatr/kpow:74
...
open /var/folders/sy/5ps2fmdj7t9bg8zbwvc3k27w0000gn/T/analyzer-fs-3664091650/file-4117161213: permission denied

There is non significant difference in the dockerfile between v73 and v74.

Note: ArtifactHub very happily scanned version 74+ until they presumably updated their trivy dependency.

Related issues:

These are not my project, but appear to be the same root cause.

goharbor/harbor#18824
goharbor/harbor#19405

Desired Behavior

I expect trivy to scan the container successfully (as it has previously done).

Actual Behavior

Trivy no longer scans the container correctly

Reproduction Steps

1. Scan any Kpow container from v74+
2. Observe output
