CVSS v3.1
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
containerd versions prior to 1.6.38
containerd versions prior to 1.7.27
containerd versions prior to 2.0.4
Description
A bug was found in containerd where containers launched with a User set as a
UID:GID larger than the maximum 32-bit signed integer can cause an overflow condition where the container ultimately runs as root (UID 0). This could cause unexpected behavior for environments that require containers to run as a non-root user.Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.6.38, update to version 1.6.38 or later.
For versions prior to 1.7.27, update to version 1.7.27 or later.
For versions prior to 2.0.4, update to version 2.0.4 or later.
As a temporary workaround, ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.
