Buildah: cri-o: FIPS Crypto-Policy Directory Mounting Issue in containers/common Go Library
CVE: CVE-2024-9341
Component: Podman
CWE: CWE-59
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.5/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N
Release date: 2024-10-01T15:45:00+00:00

A flaw was found in Go. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container. This issue also allows attackers to access critical host files, bypassing the intended isolation between containers and the host system.
