Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) 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).
3) 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.
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.
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.
