A flaw was found in buildah where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions. A bug was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty inheritable Linux process capabilities, enabling an attacker with access to programs with inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs. This has the potential to impact confidentiality and integrity.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0033 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2022-27649:
    A flaw was found in Podman, where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty default permissions.
    A vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine), where containers were started incorrectly with non-     empty inheritable Linux process capabilities.

    CVE-2022-27651:
    A flaw was found in buildah where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions.
    A bug was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities, enabling an attacker with access to programs with inheritable file     capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs. This has the     potential to impact confidentiality and integrity.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A flaw was found in buildah where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions.
    A bug was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities, enabling an attacker with access to programs with inheritable file     capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs. This has the     potential to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-27651)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:1565 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in Podman, where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty default permissions.
    A vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine), where containers were started incorrectly with non-     empty inheritable Linux process capabilities. This flaw allows an attacker with access to programs with     inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.
    (CVE-2022-27649)

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:1762 advisory.

  - A privilege escalation flaw was found in Podman. This flaw allows an attacker to publish a malicious image     to a public registry. Once this image is downloaded by a potential victim, the vulnerability is triggered     after a user runs the 'podman top' command. This action gives the attacker access to the host filesystem,     leading to information disclosure or denial of service. (CVE-2022-1227)

  - client_golang is the instrumentation library for Go applications in Prometheus, and the promhttp package     in client_golang provides tooling around HTTP servers and clients. In client_golang prior to version     1.11.1, HTTP server is susceptible to a Denial of Service through unbounded cardinality, and potential     memory exhaustion, when handling requests with non-standard HTTP methods. In order to be affected, an     instrumented software must use any of `promhttp.InstrumentHandler*` middleware except `RequestsInFlight`;
    not filter any specific methods (e.g GET) before middleware; pass metric with `method` label name to our     middleware; and not have any firewall/LB/proxy that filters away requests with unknown `method`.
    client_golang version 1.11.1 contains a patch for this issue. Several workarounds are available, including     removing the `method` label name from counter/gauge used in the InstrumentHandler; turning off affected     promhttp handlers; adding custom middleware before promhttp handler that will sanitize the request method     given by Go http.Request; and using a reverse proxy or web application firewall, configured to only allow     a limited set of methods. (CVE-2022-21698)

  - A flaw was found in Podman, where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty default permissions.
    A vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine), where containers were started incorrectly with non-     empty inheritable Linux process capabilities. This flaw allows an attacker with access to programs with     inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.
    (CVE-2022-27649)

  - A flaw was found in crun where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions. A     vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities. This flaw allows an attacker with access to programs with     inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.
    (CVE-2022-27650)

  - A flaw was found in buildah where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions.
    A bug was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities, enabling an attacker with access to programs with inheritable file     capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.

The version of buildah installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-27651 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in buildah where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3480-1 advisory.

  - A path traversal flaw was found in Buildah in versions before 1.14.5. This flaw allows an attacker to     trick a user into building a malicious container image hosted on an HTTP(s) server and then write files to     the user's system anywhere that the user has permissions. (CVE-2020-10696)

  - An improper limitation of path name flaw was found in containernetworking/cni in versions before 0.8.1.
    When specifying the plugin to load in the 'type' field in the network configuration, it is possible to use     special elements such as ../ separators to reference binaries elsewhere on the system. This flaw allows     an attacker to execute other existing binaries other than the cni plugins/types, such as 'reboot'. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
    (CVE-2021-20206)
