RHSA-2026:32974
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-06-29 09:51 - Updated: 2026-07-24 12:53A flaw was found in Billy, an interface filesystem abstraction for Go. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by providing crafted or malformed input. The issue arises from insufficient validation and missing safety mechanisms when processing untrusted repository data and filesystem structures, leading to panics, infinite loops, uncontrolled recursion, or excessive resource consumption.

A flaw was found in containerd, an open-source container runtime. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a maliciously crafted image. When a container is created from this image, it leads to uncontrolled resource consumption and memory exhaustion, causing the containerd process to terminate. This results in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, making the container runtime API unavailable and disrupting clients like Docker Engine or Kubernetes.

A flaw was found in containerd, an open-source container runtime. The Container Runtime Interface (CRI) plugin incorrectly restores container logs from a checkpoint image. This vulnerability, categorized as a Path Traversal (CWE-61), allows an attacker to read arbitrary files on the host system by manipulating symlinked paths during the checkpoint restore process. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure from the host.

A flaw was found in containerd, an open-source container runtime. The Container Runtime Interface (CRI) implementation, which allows Kubernetes to interact with container runtimes, improperly trusts Container Device Interface (CDI) annotations found within untrusted checkpoint image metadata during container restoration. This vulnerability enables a user with permissions to create pods to bypass standard Kubernetes resource allocation and device plugin enforcement. Consequently, an attacker can inject arbitrary CDI edits, such as device nodes and host mounts, into the restored container, potentially leading to unauthorized resource access or privilege escalation.

"text": "A flaw was found in containerd, an open-source container runtime. The Container Runtime Interface (CRI) implementation, which allows Kubernetes to interact with container runtimes, improperly trusts Container Device Interface (CDI) annotations found within untrusted checkpoint image metadata during container restoration. This vulnerability enables a user with permissions to create pods to bypass standard Kubernetes resource allocation and device plugin enforcement. Consequently, an attacker can inject arbitrary CDI edits, such as device nodes and host mounts, into the restored container, potentially leading to unauthorized resource access or privilege escalation.",
