SCA: security update for github.com/containerd/containerd/v2 (GHSA-cxfp-7pvr-95ff)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 434328

Description

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

 - containerd is an open-source container runtime. A bug was found in the containerd's CRI implementation
 where containerd, starting in version 2.0.1 and prior to version 2.0.5, doesn't put usernamespaced
 containers under the Kubernetes' cgroup hierarchy, therefore some Kubernetes limits are not honored. This
 may cause a denial of service of the Kubernetes node. This bug has been fixed in containerd 2.0.5+ and
 2.1.0+. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. As a workaround, disable
 usernamespaced pods in Kubernetes temporarily. (CVE-2025-47291)
