UBUNTU-CVE-2022-31030 (CVE-2022-31030)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2022-06-09 14:15 – Updated: 2025-09-08 16:50 – Source website

Details

containerd is an open source container runtime. A bug was found in the containerd's CRI implementation where programs inside a container can cause the containerd daemon to consume memory without bound during invocation of the ExecSync API. This can cause containerd to consume all available memory on the computer, denying service to other legitimate workloads. Kubernetes and crictl can both be configured to use containerd's CRI implementation; ExecSync may be used when running probes or when executing processes via an "exec" facility. This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.6 and 1.5.13. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. Users unable to upgrade should ensure that only trusted images and commands are used.

USN-5521-1 (UBUNTU-CVE-2021-32760)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2022-07-15 13:48 – Updated: 2026-06-25 10:46 – Source website

Summary

containerd vulnerabilities

Details

It was discovered that containerd insufficiently restricted permissions on container root and plugin directories. If a user or automated system were tricked into launching a specially crafted container image, a remote attacker could traverse directory contents and modify files and execute programs on the host file system, possibly leading to privilege escalation. (CVE-2021-41103)

It was discovered that containerd incorrectly handled file permission changes. If a user or automated system were tricked into launching a specially crafted container image, a remote attacker could change permissions on files on the host file system and possibly escalate privileges. (CVE-2021-32760)

It was discovered that containerd allows attackers to gain access to read- only copies of arbitrary files and directories on the host via a specially- crafted image configuration. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2022-23648)

It was discovered that containerd incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-31030)

Summary

containerd vulnerabilities

Details

It was discovered that containerd incorrectly handled memory when receiving certain faulty Exec or ExecSync commands. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or crash containerd. (CVE-2022-23471, CVE-2022-31030)

It was discovered that containerd incorrectly set up inheritable file capabilities. An attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges inside a container. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-24769)

It was discovered that containerd incorrectly handled access to encrypted container images when using imgcrypt library. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to access encrypted images from other users. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-24778)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
