medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421319

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A vulnerability exists in the bind-propagation option of the Dockerfile RUN --mount instruction. The
system does not properly validate the input passed to this option, allowing users to pass arbitrary
parameters to the mount instruction. This issue can be exploited to mount sensitive directories from the
host into a container during the build process and, in some cases, modify the contents of those mounted
files. Even if SELinux is used, this vulnerability can bypass its protection by allowing the source
directory to be relabeled to give the container access to host files. (CVE-2024-9407)
