Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Security features bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU85991
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 7.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21626
CWE-ID:
CWE-254 - Security Features
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an internal file descriptor leak that can cause a newly-spawned container process (from runc exec) to have a working directory in the host filesystem namespace or a malicious image to allow a container process to gain access to the host filesystem through runc run. A remote attacker can trick the victim into loading a malicious image to bypass sandbox restrictions and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.

2) Insufficient verification of data authenticity
EUVDB-ID: #VU86049
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24557
CWE-ID:
CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of data authenticity. A remote attacker can poison victim´s cache by making them pull a specially crafted image that would be considered as a valid cache candidate for some build steps.

3) Infinite loop
EUVDB-ID: #VU87326
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24786
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
