Vulnerability CVE-2024-9341
Published: 2024-10-01

Description:
A flaw was found in Go. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container. This issue also allows attackers to access critical host files, bypassing the intended isolation between containers and the host system.

Type:

CWE-59

 (Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following'))
