Buildah could let containers read/write outside their folder

published 1 month ago
Summary

The Buildah tool’s networking component does not correctly limit where a container can access files, so a container could reach parts of the host system it shouldn’t. This could allow an attacker to view or change sensitive data. Upgrade to a version that fixes the issue as soon as it’s available, or temporarily restrict container privileges and limit mounted directories.

What to do
  • Update cleanstart buildah to version 1.19.4-r0.
