Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18367)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in libseccomp-golang. The software incorrectly generates BPFs that OR multiple arguments rather than ANDing them. A process running under a restrictive seccomp filter that specified multiple syscall arguments could bypass intended access restrictions by specifying a single matching argument.
