medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408696
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- containerd is an open source container runtime. Before versions 1.6.18 and 1.5.18, when importing an OCI
image, there was no limit on the number of bytes read for certain files. A maliciously crafted image with
a large file where a limit was not applied could cause a denial of service. This bug has been fixed in
containerd 1.6.18 and 1.5.18. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. As a workaround,
ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.
