Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-11218

high Nessus Plugin ID 228215

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- A vulnerability was found in `podman build` and `buildah.` This issue occurs in a container breakout by using --jobs=2 and a race condition when building a malicious Containerfile. SELinux might mitigate it, but even with SELinux on, it still allows the enumeration of files and directories on the host.
(CVE-2024-11218)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
