{"id":"CVE-2023-25153","summary":"containerd OCI image importer memory exhaustion","details":"containerd is an open source container runtime. Before versions 1.6.18 and 1.5.18, when importing an OCI image, there was no limit on the number of bytes read for certain files. A maliciously crafted image with a large file where a limit was not applied could cause a denial of service. This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.18 and 1.5.18.  Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. As a workaround, ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.","aliases":["GHSA-259w-8hf6-59c2","GO-2023-1573"],"modified":"2026-04-02T08:50:00.912246Z","published":"2023-02-16T14:09:08.519Z","related":["CGA-gc6v-wxff-87c8","MGASA-2023-0245","SUSE-SU-2023:1826-1","SUSE-SU-2023:1827-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:12822-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/25xxx/CVE-2023-25153.json","cwe_ids":["CWE-770"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.5.18"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.6.18"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/25xxx/CVE-2023-25153.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/GHSA-259w-8hf6-59c2"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-25153"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/0c314901076a74a7b797a545d2f462285fdbb8c4"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"39bb06f98f17c7a226b10269d325c861585b2389"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.5.18"}]}},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd","events":[{"introduced":"39259a8f35919a0d02c9ecc2871ddd6ccf6a7c6e"},{"fixed":"2456e983eb9e37e47538f59ea18f2043c9a73640"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"1.6.0"},{"fixed":"1.6.18"}]}}],"versions":["0.0.2","0.0.3","0.0.4","0.0.5","api/v1.10.0","api/v1.10.0-beta.0","api/v1.10.0-beta.1","api/v1.10.0-rc.0","api/v1.11.0-beta.0","api/v1.6.0-beta.1","api/v1.6.0-beta.2","api/v1.6.0-beta.3","api/v1.7.19","api/v1.8.0","api/v1.8.0-rc.0","api/v1.8.0-rc.1","api/v1.8.0-rc.2","api/v1.8.0-rc.3","api/v1.8.0-rc.4","api/v1.9.0","api/v1.9.0-rc.0","v0.1.0","v0.2.0","v0.2.1","v0.2.2","v0.2.3","v0.2.4","v0.2.5","v0.2.6","v0.2.7","v0.2.8","v0.2.9","v1.0.0","v1.0.0-alpha0","v1.0.0-alpha1","v1.0.0-alpha2","v1.0.0-alpha3","v1.0.0-alpha4","v1.0.0-alpha5","v1.0.0-alpha6","v1.0.0-beta.0","v1.0.0-beta.1","v1.0.0-beta.2","v1.0.0-beta.3","v1.0.0-rc.0","v1.0.1","v1.0.1-rc.0","v1.0.2","v1.0.2-rc.0","v1.0.2-rc.1","v1.0.3","v1.0.3-rc.0","v1.1.0","v1.1.0-rc.0","v1.1.0-rc.1","v1.1.0-rc.2","v1.1.1","v1.1.1-rc.0","v1.1.1-rc.1","v1.1.1-rc.2","v1.1.2","v1.1.3","v1.1.4","v1.1.5","v1.1.6","v1.1.7","v1.1.8","v1.2.0","v1.2.0-beta.0","v1.2.0-beta.1","v1.2.0-beta.2","v1.2.0-rc.0","v1.2.0-rc.1","v1.2.0-rc.2","v1.2.1","v1.2.1-rc.0","v1.2.10","v1.2.11","v1.2.12","v1.2.13","v1.2.14","v1.2.2","v1.2.3","v1.2.4","v1.2.5","v1.2.6","v1.2.7","v1.2.8","v1.2.9","v1.3.0","v1.3.0-beta.0","v1.3.0-beta.1","v1.3.0-beta.2","v1.3.0-rc.0","v1.3.0-rc.1","v1.3.0-rc.2","v1.3.0-rc.3","v1.3.1","v1.3.10","v1.3.2","v1.3.3","v1.3.4","v1.3.5","v1.3.6","v1.3.7","v1.3.8","v1.3.9","v1.4.0","v1.4.0-beta.0","v1.4.0-beta.1","v1.4.0-beta.2","v1.4.0-rc.0","v1.4.0-rc.1","v1.4.1","v1.4.10","v1.4.11","v1.4.12","v1.4.13","v1.4.2","v1.4.3","v1.4.4","v1.4.5","v1.4.6","v1.4.7","v1.4.8","v1.4.9","v1.5.0","v1.5.0-beta.0","v1.5.0-beta.1","v1.5.0-beta.2","v1.5.0-beta.3","v1.5.0-beta.4","v1.5.0-rc.0","v1.5.0-rc.1","v1.5.0-rc.2","v1.5.0-rc.3","v1.5.1","v1.5.10","v1.5.11","v1.5.12","v1.5.13","v1.5.14","v1.5.15","v1.5.16","v1.5.17","v1.5.2","v1.5.3","v1.5.4","v1.5.5","v1.5.6","v1.5.7","v1.5.8","v1.5.9","v1.6.0","v1.6.0-beta.0","v1.6.0-beta.1","v1.6.0-beta.2","v1.6.0-beta.3","v1.6.0-beta.4","v1.6.0-beta.5","v1.6.0-rc.0","v1.6.0-rc.1","v1.6.0-rc.2","v1.6.0-rc.3","v1.6.0-rc.4","v1.6.1","v1.6.10","v1.6.11","v1.6.12","v1.6.13","v1.6.14","v1.6.15","v1.6.16","v1.6.17","v1.6.18","v1.6.19","v1.6.2","v1.6.20","v1.6.21","v1.6.22","v1.6.23","v1.6.24","v1.6.25","v1.6.26","v1.6.27","v1.6.28","v1.6.29","v1.6.3","v1.6.30","v1.6.31","v1.6.32","v1.6.33","v1.6.34","v1.6.35","v1.6.36","v1.6.37","v1.6.38","v1.6.39","v1.6.4","v1.6.5","v1.6.6","v1.6.7","v1.6.8","v1.6.9","v1.7.0","v1.7.0-beta.0","v1.7.0-beta.1","v1.7.0-beta.2","v1.7.0-beta.3","v1.7.0-beta.4","v1.7.0-rc.0","v1.7.0-rc.1","v1.7.0-rc.2","v1.7.0-rc.3","v1.7.1","v1.7.10","v1.7.11","v1.7.12","v1.7.13","v1.7.14","v1.7.15","v1.7.16","v1.7.17","v1.7.18","v1.7.19","v1.7.2","v1.7.20","v1.7.21","v1.7.22","v1.7.23","v1.7.24","v1.7.25","v1.7.26","v1.7.27","v1.7.28","v1.7.29","v1.7.3","v1.7.30","v1.7.4","v1.7.5","v1.7.6","v1.7.7","v1.7.8","v1.7.9","v2.0.0","v2.0.0-beta.0","v2.0.0-beta.1","v2.0.0-beta.2","v2.0.0-rc.0","v2.0.0-rc.1","v2.0.0-rc.2","v2.0.0-rc.3","v2.0.0-rc.4","v2.0.0-rc.5","v2.0.0-rc.6","v2.0.1","v2.0.2","v2.0.3","v2.0.4","v2.0.5","v2.0.6","v2.0.7","v2.1.0","v2.1.0-beta.0","v2.1.0-beta.1","v2.1.0-rc.0","v2.1.0-rc.1","v2.1.1","v2.1.2","v2.1.3","v2.1.4","v2.1.5","v2.1.6","v2.2.0","v2.2.0-beta.0","v2.2.0-beta.1","v2.2.0-beta.2","v2.2.0-rc.0","v2.2.0-rc.1","v2.2.1","v2.2.2","v2.3.0-beta.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2023-25153.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severit
