Bottlerocket: bottlerocket-containerd, containerd: security update to 1.7.27

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428175

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 containerd prior to versions 1.6.38,
1.7.27, and 2.0.4 where containers launched with a User set as a `UID:GID` larger than the maximum 32-bit
signed integer can cause an overflow condition where the container ultimately runs as root (UID 0). This
could cause unexpected behavior for environments that require containers to run as a non-root user. This
bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.38, 1.7.27, and 2.04. As a workaround, ensure that only trusted
images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images. (CVE-2024-40635)
