Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU50273

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21284

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions when using the --userns-remap option. A remote authenticated attacker on the local network can send a specially crafted request and gain elevated privileges as root on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package containerd, docker, runc to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Containers: 15-SP2 - 15-SP3

SUSE Manager Proxy: 4.0

SUSE Manager Retail Branch Server: 4.0

SUSE Manager Server: 4.0

SUSE Enterprise Storage: 6 - 7

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated user via the local network (LAN).

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU50274

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21285

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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. A remote attacker can trick a victim to pull a specially crafted Docker image, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package containerd, docker, runc to the latest version.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

3) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU51242

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21334

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect management of internal resources. Containers launched through containerd's CRI implementation (through Kubernetes, crictl, or any other pod/container client that uses the containerd CRI service) that share the same image may receive incorrect environment variables, including values that are defined for other containers. If the affected containers have different security contexts, this may allow sensitive information to be unintentionally shared.

Mitigation

Update the affected package containerd, docker, runc to the latest version.

4) Security features bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU53399

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30465

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the security features bypass issue. A remote authenticated attacker on the local network can perform a symlink exchange attack and host filesystem being bind-mounted into the container.

Mitigation

Update the affected package containerd, docker, runc to the latest version.
