A symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library can cause Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O to hang and result in a denial of service via OOM kill when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). The containers/storage library will read /etc/passwd inside the container, but does not properly validate if that file is a symlink, which can be used to cause the library to read an arbitrary file on the host.","published":"2024-10-15T16:15:07.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T08:25:02.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-22"],"affected":["redhat/openshift container platform","redhat/openshift container platform for arm64","redhat/openshift container platform for ibm z","redhat/openshift container platform for linuxone","redhat/openshift container platform for power","redhat/enterprise linux","redhat/enterprise linux eus","redhat/enterprise linux for arm 64","redhat/enterprise linux for arm 64 eus","redhat/enterprise linux for ibm z systems","redhat/enterprise linux for ibm z systems eus","redhat/enterprise linux for power little endian","redhat/enterprise linux for power little endian eus","redhat/enterprise linux server aus","redhat/enterprise linux server for power little endian update services for sap solutions"],"epss":{"score":0.01336,"percentile":0.71057,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.34%).
