RHEL 8 : container-tools:rhel8 (RHSA-2024:2098)

high Nessus Plugin ID 194470

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for container-tools:rhel8.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2098 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in Buildah (and subsequently Podman Build) which allows containers to mount arbitrary locations on the host filesystem into build containers. A malicious Containerfile can use a dummy image with a symbolic link to the root filesystem as a mount source and cause the mount operation to mount the host root filesystem inside the RUN step. The commands inside the RUN step will then have read-write access to the host filesystem, allowing for full container escape at build time. (CVE-2024-1753)

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 RHEL container-tools:rhel8 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:2098.
