The version of runc installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.3-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2DOCKER-2022-020 advisory.

    Acceptance of some invalid Transfer-Encoding headers in the HTTP/1 client in net/http before Go 1.17.12     and Go 1.18.4 allows HTTP request smuggling if combined with an intermediate server that also improperly     fails to reject the header as invalid. (CVE-2022-1705)

    Uncontrolled recursion in the Parse functions in go/parser before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allow an     attacker to cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via deeply nested types or declarations. (CVE-2022-1962)

    A buffer overflow flaw was found in Golang's library encoding/pem. This flaw allows an attacker to use a     large PEM input (more than 5 MB) ), causing a stack overflow in Decode, which leads to a loss of     availability. (CVE-2022-24675)

    A broken cryptographic algorithm flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. This issue causes a client to     fail authentification with RSA keys to servers that reject signature algorithms based on SHA-2, enabling     an attacker to crash the server, resulting in a loss of availability. (CVE-2022-27191)

    A flaw was found in golang encoding/xml. When calling Decoder.Skip while parsing a deeply nested XML     document, a panic can occur due to stack exhaustion and allows an attacker to impact system availability.
    (CVE-2022-28131)

    An integer overflow flaw was found in Golang's crypto/elliptic library. This flaw allows an attacker to     use a crafted scaler input longer than 32 bytes, causing P256().ScalarMult or P256().ScalarBaseMult to     panic, leading to a loss of availability. (CVE-2022-28327)

    runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers on Linux according to the OCI specification. A bug     was found in runc prior to version 1.1.2 where `runc exec --cap` created processes with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities, creating an atypical Linux environment and enabling programs with     inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set during execve(2). This     bug did not affect the container security sandbox as the inheritable set never contained more capabilities     than were included in the container's bounding set. This bug has been fixed in runc 1.1.2. This fix     changes `runc exec --cap` behavior such that the additional capabilities granted to the process being     executed (as specified via `--cap` arguments) do not include inheritable capabilities. In addition, `runc     spec` is changed to not set any inheritable capabilities in the created example OCI spec (`config.json`)     file. (CVE-2022-29162)

    Go before 1.17.10 and 1.18.x before 1.18.2 has Incorrect Privilege Assignment. When called with a non-zero     flags parameter, the Faccessat function could incorrectly report that a file is accessible.
    (CVE-2022-29526)

    Non-random values for ticket_age_add in session tickets in crypto/tls before Go 1.17.11 and Go 1.18.3     allow an attacker that can observe TLS handshakes to correlate successive connections by comparing ticket     ages during session resumption. (CVE-2022-30629)

    A flaw was found in the golang standard library, io/fs. Calling Glob on a path that contains a large     number of path separators can cause a panic issue due to stack exhaustion. This could allow an attacker to     impact availability. (CVE-2022-30630)

    A flaw was found in golang. Calling the Reader.Read method on an archive that contains a large number of     concatenated 0-length compressed files can cause a panic issue due to stack exhaustion. (CVE-2022-30631)

    A flaw was found in golang. Calling Glob on a path that contains a large number of path separators can     cause a panic issue due to stack exhaustion. This can cause an attacker to impact availability.
    (CVE-2022-30632)

    Uncontrolled recursion in Unmarshal in encoding/xml before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker to     cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via unmarshalling an XML document into a Go struct which has a     nested field that uses the any field tag. (CVE-2022-30633)

    A flaw was found in golang. When calling Decoder.Decode on a message that contains deeply nested     structures, a panic can occur due to stack exhaustion and allows an attacker to impact system     availability. (CVE-2022-30635)

    Improper exposure of client IP addresses in net/http before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 can be triggered by     calling httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the     X-Forwarded-For header, which causes ReverseProxy to set the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For     header. (CVE-2022-32148)
