high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443977

Description

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

 - containerd is an open-source container runtime. In Versions prior to 2.3.2, 2.2.5 and 2.1.9, the CRI
 implementation improperly trusts Container Device Interface (CDI) annotations found within untrusted
 checkpoint image metadata during container restoration. When restoring a container from a checkpoint,
 containerd preserves CDI-related annotations from the checkpoint archive rather than relying solely on the
 pod's create-time specification. This allows a user with pod creation permissions to bypass standard
 Kubernetes resource allocation and device plugin enforcement, injecting arbitrary CDI edits (such as
 device nodes and host mounts) into the restored container. Successful exploitation requires that the node
 has CDI enabled and contains a matching host CDI specification for the requested device; environments
 where CDI is disabled or lacking sensitive device specifications are not affected. This issue has been
 fixed in versions 2.3.2, 2.2.5 and 2.1.9. (CVE-2026-53492)

Solution

Update the bottlerocket-containerd-2.1 library and its related packages to version 2.1.8 or later.
