EulerOS 2.0 SP12 : containerd (EulerOS-SA-2025-1580)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 238186

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the containerd packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS containerd 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 containerd packages.
