CVE-2024-9676 - Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O Symlink Traversal Denial of Service

CVE ID : CVE-2024-9676
Published : Oct. 15, 2024, 4:15 p.m. | 24 minutes ago
Description : A vulnerability was found in Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O. A symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library can cause Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O to hang and result in a denial of service via OOM kill when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). The containers/storage library will read /etc/passwd inside the container, but does not properly validate if that file is a symlink, which can be used to cause the library to read an arbitrary file on the host.
Severity: 6.5 | MEDIUM
