A crafted message in the BuildKit low-level build API can be used to remove the contents of the /tmp directory.

LOW 1.8EPSS 0.25%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A crafted message in the BuildKit low-level build API can be used to remove the contents of the /tmp directory. The action that can normally be used to delete files inside the build container rootfs can escape into the real host temp directory.
