A vulnerability was found in CRI-O, where it can be requested to take a checkpoint archive of a container and later be asked to restore it. When it does that restoration, it attempts to restore the mounts from the restore archive instead of the pod request. As a result, the validations run on the pod spec, verifying that the pod has access to the mounts it specifies are not applicable to a restored container. This flaw allows a malicious user to trick CRI-O into restoring a pod that doesn't have access to host mounts. The user needs access to the kubelet or cri-o socket to call the restore endpoint and trigger the restore.

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2025:0648 advisory.

  - cri-o: Checkpoint restore can be triggered from different namespaces (CVE-2024-8676)

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

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2025:1908 advisory.

  - cri-o: Checkpoint restore can be triggered from different namespaces (CVE-2024-8676)

  - podman: buildah: Container breakout by using --jobs=2 and a race condition when building a malicious     Containerfile (CVE-2024-11218)

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0033 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-8676:
