Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50447)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the PIL.ImageMath.eval function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49569)

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 overwrite arbitrary files on the system. Applications are only affected if they are using the ChrootOS, which is the default when using "Plain" versions of Open and Clone funcs (e.g. PlainClone).


3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23652)

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

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within BuildKit frontend or Dockerfile using RUN --mount. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.


4) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23653)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization checks.

The vulnerability exists due to interactive containers API does not validate entitlements check. A remote attacker can use these APIs to ask BuildKit to run a container with elevated privileges.
