SUSE update for containerd, docker, runc

1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU50273

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21284

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions when using the --userns-remap option. A remote authenticated attacker on the local network can send a specially crafted request and gain elevated privileges as root on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package containerd, docker, runc to the latest version.

2) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU50274

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21285

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trick a victim to pull a specially crafted Docker image, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package containerd, docker, runc to the latest version.

3) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU51242

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21334

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect management of internal resources. Containers launched through containerd's CRI implementation (through Kubernetes, crictl, or any other pod/container client that uses the containerd CRI service) that share the same image may receive incorrect environment variables, including values that are defined for other containers. If the affected containers have different security contexts, this may allow sensitive information to be unintentionally shared.

Mitigation

Update the affected package containerd, docker, runc to the latest version.
