containerd is an open-source container runtime. Versions 0.1.0 through 1.7.28, 2.0.0-beta.0 through 2.0.6, 2.1.0-beta.0 through 2.1.4 and 2.2.0-beta.0 through 2.2.0-rc.1 have an overly broad default permission vulnerability. Directory paths `/var/lib/containerd`, `/run/containerd/io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri` and `/run/containerd/io.containerd.sandbox.controller.v1.shim` were all created with incorrect permissions. This issue is fixed in versions 1.7.29, 2.0.7, 2.1.5 and 2.2.0. Workarounds include updating system administrator permissions so the host can manually chmod the directories to not have group or world accessible permissions, or to run containerd in rootless mode.

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in containerd, an open-source     container runtime, used by e.g. Docker or Kubernetes.

    CVE-2024-25621

        Overly broad default permission vulnerability. Directory paths         `/var/lib/containerd`, `/run/containerd/io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri`         and `/run/containerd/io.containerd.sandbox.controller.v1.shim` were         all created with incorrect permissions.

    CVE-2025-64329

        Bug in the CRI Attach implementation where a user can exhaust memory         on the host due to goroutine leaks.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.4.13~ds1-1~deb11u6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your containerd packages.
