CVE-2024-1753

Buildah: buildah: container escape via improper bind mount validation

Published Mar 18, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 8.6 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in Buildah (and subsequently Podman Build) which allows containers to mount arbitrary locations on the host filesystem into build containers. A malicious Containerfile can use a dummy image with a symbolic link to the root filesystem as a mount source and cause the mount operation to mount the host root filesystem inside the RUN step. The commands inside the RUN step will then have read-write access to the host filesystem, allowing for full container escape at build time.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

When SELinux is enabled, the container is restricted to limited read-only access.
