Details: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments. This advisory contains the container images for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12.87. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2026:6491 Space precludes documenting all of the container images in this advisory. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for details about these changes: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.12/html/release_notes Security Fix(es): None For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. All OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages and images when they are available in the appropriate release channel. To check for available updates, use the OpenShift CLI (oc) or web console. Instructions for upgrading a cluster are available at https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.12/html-single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-within-minor.

CVE-2025-31133

A flaw was found in runc. This flaw exploits an issue with how masked paths are implementedin runc. When masking files, runc will bind-mount the container's /dev/null inode on top of the file. However, if an attacker can replace /dev/null with a symlink to some other procfs file, runc will instead bind-mount the symlink target read-write.

Workaround Potential mitigations for this issue include: * Using user namespaces, with the host root user not mapped into the container's namespace. procfs file permissions are managed using Unix DAC and thus user namespaces stop a container process from being able to write to them. * Not running as a root user in the container (this includes disabling setuid binaries with noNewPrivileges). As above, procfs file permissions are managed using Unix DAC and thus non-root users cannot write to them. * Depending on the maskedPath configuration (the default configuratio nonly masks paths in /proc and /sys), using an AppArmor that blocks unexpectedwrites to any maskedPaths (as is the case with the defaultprofile used by Docker and Podman) will block attempts to exploit this issue. However, CVE-2025-52881 allows an attacker to bypass LSMlabels, and so this mitigation is not helpful when considered incombination with CVE-2025-52881.
CVE-2025-52565

A flaw was found in runc. CVE-2025-52565 is very similar in concept and application toCVE-2025-31133, except that it exploits a flaw in /dev/console bind-mounts. When creating the /dev/console bind-mount (to /dev/pts/$n), if an attacker replaces /dev/pts/$n with a symlink then runc will bind-mount the symlink target over /dev/console.

As above, procfs file permissions are managed using Unix DAC and thus non-root users cannot write to them. * The default SELinux policy should mitigate this issue, as the /dev/console bind-mount does not re-label the mount and so the container process should not be able to write to unsafe procfs files. However, CVE-2025-52881 allows an attacker to bypass LSM labels, and so this mitigation is not helpful when considered in combination with CVE-2025-52881. * The default AppArmor profile used by most runtimes will NOT help mitigate this issue, as /dev/console access is permitted. You could create a custom profile that blocks access to /dev/console, but such a profile might break regular containers. In addition, CVE-2025-52881 allows an attacker to bypass LSM labels, and so that mitigation is not helpful when considered in combination with CVE-2025-52881.
CVE-2025-61662

A Use-After-Free vulnerability has been discovered in GRUB's gettext module. This flaw stems from a programming error where the gettext command remains registered in memory after its module is unloaded. An attacker can exploit this condition by invoking the orphaned command, causing the application to access a memory location that is no longer valid. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause grub to crash, leading to a Denial of Service. Possible data integrity or confidentiality compromise is not discarded.
