Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39326)

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 when handling HTTP chunked requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the server and consume excessive memory resources.


2) Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23650)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23651)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition. A remote attacker can exploit the race and cause the files from the host system being accessible to the build container.


4) 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.


5) 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.


6) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24557)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of data authenticity. A remote attacker can poison victim´s cache by making them pull a specially crafted image that would be considered as a valid cache candidate for some build steps.
