Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7387)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the container.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in openshift/builder. A remote user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and escalate their permissions on the node running the container.


2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45496)

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

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions during the build initialization step. A remote user can provide a crafted .gitconfig file containing commands executed during the cloning process, leading to arbitrary command execution on the worker node.
