Si un atacante tiene acceso directo a un contenedor y manipula su acceso de grupo suplementario, es posible que pueda utilizar el acceso de grupo suplementario para eludir las restricciones del grupo primario en algunos casos, obteniendo potencialmente acceso a informaci\u00f3n confidencial o obteniendo la capacidad de ejecutar c\u00f3digo en ese contenedor. Las aplicaciones posteriores que utilizan la librer\u00eda cliente en containerd tambi\u00e9n pueden verse afectadas. Este error se ha solucionado en Containerd v1.6.18 y v.1.5.18.

Los usuarios que dependen de una aplicaci\u00f3n posterior que utiliza la librer\u00eda cliente de Containerd deben verificar esa aplicaci\u00f3n para obtener avisos e instrucciones por separado. Como workaround, aseg\u00farese de que no se utilice la instrucci\u00f3n de Dockerfile `\\\"USER $USERNAME\\\"`. En su lugar, establezca el punto de entrada del contenedor en un valor similar a `ENTRYPOINT [\\\"su\\\", \\\"-\\\", \\\"user\\\"]` para permitir que `su` configure correctamente grupos suplementarios.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"baseScore\":7.8,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":5.9},{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"integrityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"baseScore\":5.3,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":3.4}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-863\"}]},{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-863\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:linuxfoundation:containerd:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.5.18\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"4C98A2DA-3CDD-4438-AECC-DDDA67E61935\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:linuxfoundation:containerd:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"1.6.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.6.18\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"BDD5FC3E-BEEB-4CAA-845E-3BADF39E46B2\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-4wjj-jwc9-2x96\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Not Applicable\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fjm8-m7m6-2fjp\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Not Applicable\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-phjr-8j92-w5v7\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Not Applicable\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/133f6bb6cd827ce35a5fb279c1ead12b9d21460a\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.5.18\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Release Notes\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.6.18\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Release Notes\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/GHSA-hmfx-3pcx-653p\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Mitigation\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/moby/moby/security/advisories/GHSA-rc4r-wh2q-q6c4\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Not Applicable\"]},{\"url\":\"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/LYZOKMMVX4SIEHPJW3SJUQGMO5YZCPHC/\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\"},{\"url\":\"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XNF4OLYZRQE75EB5TW5N42FSXHBXGWFE/\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\"},{\"url\":\"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZTE4ITXXPIWZEQ4HYQCB6N6GZIMWXDAI/\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\"},{\"url\":\"https://www.benthamsgaze.org/2022/08/22/vulnerability-in-linux-containers-investigation-and-mitigation/\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]}]}}"
