4) 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.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34158)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-47384)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the TEMP_TO_REG() and w83793_detect_subclients() functions in drivers/hwmon/w83793.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1252)
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Linux kernel’s Ext4 File System in how a user triggers several file operations simultaneously with the overlay FS usage. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.
8) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52489)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the section_deactivate() function in mm/sparse.c. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
9) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2201)
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to native branch history injection on x86 systems. A malicious guest can infer the contents of arbitrary host memory, including memory assigned to other guests and compromise the affected system.
10) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3596)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm in RADIUS Protocol. A remote user can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack and gain access to target system.
11) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9675)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in cache mounts. A local user can execute a 'RUN' instruction in a Container file to mount an arbitrary directory from the host into the container as long as those files can be accessed by the user running Buildah.
12) 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.
13) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26671)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory corruption within the blk_mq_mark_tag_wait() function in block/blk-mq.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
