Vulnerability CVE-2024-1753

Published: 2024-03-18

Description:

A flaw was found in Podman Build and Buildah 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.

Type:

CWE-269

(Improper Privilege Management)
