The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling specially crafted image configuration in containerd where containers launched through containerd’s CRI implementation. A remote attacker can bypass any policy-based enforcement on container setup and access the read-only copies of arbitrary files and directories on the host.
