SUSE SLES15 / openSUSE 15 Security Update : catatonit, containerd, runc (SUSE-SU-2023:4727-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 186811

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4727-1 advisory.

 containerd:

 - Update to containerd v1.7.8. Upstream release notes:
 https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.7.8

 * CVE-2022-1996: Fixed CORS bypass in go-restful (bsc#1200528)

 catatonit:

 - Update to catatonit v0.2.0.
 * Change license to GPL-2.0-or-later.

 - Update to catatont v0.1.7
 * This release adds the ability for catatonit to be used as the only process in a pause container, by passing the -P flag (in this mode no subprocess is spawned and thus no signal forwarding is done).

 - Update to catatonit v0.1.6, which fixes a few bugs -- mainly ones related to socket activation or features somewhat adjacent to socket activation (such as passing file descriptors).

 runc:

 - Update to runc v1.1.10. Upstream changelog is available from https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases/tag/v1.1.10

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
