{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2024-9676","details":"A vulnerability was found in Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O. A symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library can cause Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O to hang and result in a denial of service via OOM kill when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). The containers/storage library will read /etc/passwd inside the container, but does not properly validate if that file is a symlink, which can be used to cause the library to read an arbitrary file on the host.","modified":"2026-09-15T09:03:11.603905609Z","published":"2024-10-15T16:15:06.933Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-9676"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-9676"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"golang-github-containers-storage","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/golang-github-containers-storage?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.43.0+ds1-8","1.44.0+ds1-1","1.45.1+ds1-1","1.45.1+ds1-2","1.46.1+ds1-1","1.46.1+ds1-2","1.46.1+ds1-3","1.46.1+ds1-4","1.48.1+ds1-1","1.48.1+ds1-2","1.48.1+ds1-2~bpo12+1","1.50.2+ds1-1","1.50.2+ds1-2","1.51.0+ds1-1","1.51.0+ds1-2","1.52.0+ds1-1","1.53.0+ds1-1","1.53.0+ds1-2","1.55.0+ds1-1","1.55.0+ds1-2","1.55.0+ds1-3","1.55.1+ds1-1","1.56.0+ds1-1","1.56.0+ds1-2","1.56.1+ds1-1","1.57.1+ds1-1","1.57.2+ds1-1","1.59.1+ds1-1","1.59.1+ds1-2","1.59.1+ds1-3","1.61.0+ds1-1","1.61.0+ds1-2","1.61.0+ds1-3","1.61.0+ds1-4","1.61.0+ds1-5","1.61.0+ds1-6","1.62.0-1","1.62.0-2","1.62.0-3","1.63.0-1","1.64.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-9676.json"}},{"package":{"name":"golang-github-containers-storage","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/golang-github-containers-storage?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.55.1+ds1-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-9676.json"}},{"package":{"name":"golang-github-containers-storage","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/golang-github-containers-storage?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.55.1+ds1-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-9676.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
