Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10696)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can trick a victim to build a malicious container image hosted on an HTTP(s) server and then write files to the user's system anywhere that the user has permissions.


2) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2990)

CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of the supplementary groups in the Buildah container engine. A local user with direct access to the affected container where supplementary groups are used can set access permissions and execute a binary code in that container.
