Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- containerd is an open-source container runtime. Prior to 1.7.35, 2.0.12, 2.2.8, and 2.3.5, containerd's
layer unpack handler repeatedly traverses directories for certain opaque whiteout configurations. A
malicious image layer can trigger repeated directory traversals while opaque whiteouts are processed.
Pulling or importing the image can consume CPU, delay container startup, and reduce image-pull concurrency
for unrelated deployments. This issue is fixed in versions 1.7.35, 2.0.12, 2.2.8, and 2.3.5.
