Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 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-2024-45338)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in several Parse functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50302)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the hid_alloc_report_buf() function in drivers/hid/hid-core.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild against Android devices.
4) External Control of File Name or Path (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0406)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to application allows an attacker to control path of the files when extracting data from a .tar archive. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted archive to the application and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
5) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24786)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when parsing data in an invalid JSON format within the protojson.Unmarshal() function. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
6) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24976)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject an untrusted signing key in a JWT.
The vulnerability exists due to the way the JWK verification is performed. When a JWT contains a JWK header without a certificate chain, the code only checks if the KeyID (kid) matches one of the trusted keys, but doesn't verify that the actual key material matches. A remote attacker can pass arbitrary data to the application signed with an untrusted JWT.
7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8676)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way CRI-O handles restoration of archive container. A remote user with access to the kubelet or cri-o socket can call the restore endpoint and trigger the restore.When restoration starts, the application will attempt to restore the mounts from the restore archive instead of the pod request and access host mounts.
8) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11218)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions during the build process. A remote user can leverage usage of a --mount flag in RUN instructions in Containerfiles along with multi-stage builds with use of concurrently-executing build stages or multiple separate but concurrently-executing builds to expose content from the build host and perform read/write operations on the system with privileges of the podman system service.
9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-54543)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
10) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1244)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling custom "man" URI schemes. A remote attacker can trick the victim into clicking on a specially crafted URL and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24162)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in WebKit. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
