2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23651)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition. A remote attacker can exploit the race and cause the files from the host system being accessible to the build container.
3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23652)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within BuildKit frontend or Dockerfile using RUN --mount. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
4) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23653)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization checks.
The vulnerability exists due to interactive containers API does not validate entitlements check. A remote attacker can use these APIs to ask BuildKit to run a container with elevated privileges.
5) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24786)
