The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:1726-1 advisory.
runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. In affected versions it was found that rootless runc makes /sys/fs/cgroup
writable in following conditons: 1. when runc is executed inside the user namespace, and the config.json
does not specify the cgroup namespace to be unshared (e.g…, (docker|podman|nerdctl) run --cgroupns=host
, with Rootless Docker/Podman/nerdctl) or 2. when runc is executed outside the user namespace, and /sys
is mounted with rbind, ro
(e.g., runc spec --rootless
; this condition is very rare). A container may gain the write access to user-owned cgroup hierarchy /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/...
on the host . Other users’s cgroup hierarchies are not affected.
Users are advised to upgrade to version 1.1.5. Users unable to upgrade may unshare the cgroup namespace ((docker|podman|nerdctl) run --cgroupns=private)
. This is the default behavior of Docker/Podman/nerdctl on cgroup v2 hosts. or add /sys/fs/cgroup
to maskedPaths
. (CVE-2023-25809)
runc through 1.1.4 has Incorrect Access Control leading to Escalation of Privileges, related to libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. To exploit this, an attacker must be able to spawn two containers with custom volume-mount configurations, and be able to run custom images. NOTE: this issue exists because of a CVE-2019-19921 regression. (CVE-2023-27561)
runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. It was found that AppArmor can be bypassed when /proc
inside the container is symlinked with a specific mount configuration. This issue has been fixed in runc version 1.1.5, by prohibiting symlinked /proc
. See PR #3785 for details. users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid using an untrusted container image. (CVE-2023-28642)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
