Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34156)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to encoding/gob does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Decoder.Decode. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, this vulnerability is related to #VU66068 (CVE-2024-34156).
2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44082)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions when handling images. A remote attacker can trick the victim into using a specially crafted image to gain access to sensitive information.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9341)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container.
4) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9676)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). A local user can create a symbolic link to an arbitrary file on the system, force the library to read it and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34155)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to go/parser does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34158)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to go/build/constraint does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Parse on a "// +build" build tag line with deeply nested expressions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
