Описание
containerd is an open-source container runtime. Versions prior to 1.7.33, 2.0.10, 2.1.9, 2.2.5 and 2.3.2, contain a vulnerability that allows a maliciously crafted image to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. When creating a container from this image, memory exhaustion occurs, leading to an Out Of Memory (OOM) kill of the containerd process. This renders the container runtime API unavailable and can disrupt clients such as the Docker Engine or Kubernetes control-plane components. This issue has been fixed in versions 1.7.33, 2.0.10, 2.1.9, 2.2.5 and 2.3.2.
A flaw was found in containerd, an open-source container runtime. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a maliciously crafted image. When a container is created from this image, it leads to uncontrolled resource consumption and memory exhaustion, causing the containerd process to terminate. This results in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, making the container runtime API unavailable and disrupting clients like Docker Engine or Kubernetes.
Отчет
Red Hat's container platform uses CRI-O as its container runtime interface, not containerd. While containerd libraries are bundled in some images for OCI image operations (e.g., estargz support via skopeo), the containerd daemon and its CRI plugin (where the vulnerable group-parsing code path exists) are not executed. Therefore, this vulnerability is not exploitable in Red Hat products.
Меры по смягчению последствий
No mitigation is needed for Red Hat products. The vulnerable code path in containerd's CRI plugin group-parsing logic is not executed because Red Hat uses CRI-O as the container runtime. Products that bundle containerd as a library dependency for OCI image operations are not affected.
