Security Fix(es):
containerd: containerd is an open-source container runtime. A bug was found in containerd prior to versions 1.6.38, 1.7.27, and 2.0.4 where containers launched with a User set as a `UID:GID` larger than the maximum 32-bit signed integer can cause an overflow condition where the container ultimately runs as root (UID 0). This could cause unexpected behavior for environments that require containers to run as a non-root user. This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.38, 1.7.27, and 2.04. As a workaround, ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.(CVE-2024-40635)
containerd: bugfix
nghttp2: A flaw was found in Envoy, where a specifically crafted response from an untrusted upstream service can cause a denial of service through memory exhaustion. This issue is caused by Envoy’s HTTP/2 codec, which may leak a header map and bookkeeping structures upon receiving RST_STREAM immediately, followed by the GOAWAY frames from an upstream server.(CVE-2023-35945)
nghttp2: A flaw was found in handling multiplexed streams in the HTTP/2 protocol. A client can repeatedly make a request for a new multiplex stream and immediately send an RST_STREAM frame to cancel it. This creates extra work for the server setting up and tearing down the streams while not hitting any server-side limit for the maximum number of active streams per connection, resulting in a denial of service due to server resource consumption. Red Hat has rated the severity of this flaw as 'Important' as the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) declared this vulnerability an active exploit. CVE-2023-39325 was assigned for the Rapid Reset Attack in the Go language packages. Security Bulletin https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/RHSB(CVE-2023-44487)
nghttp2: A vulnerability was found in how nghttp2 implements the HTTP/2 protocol. There are insufficient limitations placed on the amount of CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single stream. This issue could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to send packets to vulnerable servers, which could use up compute or memory resources to cause a Denial of Service.(CVE-2024-28182)
