Multiple vulnerabilities in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17

1) Path traversal

EUVDB-ID: #VU98828

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9675

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50302

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

3) Insufficient verification of data authenticity

EUVDB-ID: #VU103784

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24976

CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU103485

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8676

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

5) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU103500

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11218

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
