OCI image importer memory exhaustion in github.com/containerd/containerd
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/containerd/containerd | < 1.5.18 | 1.5.18 |
| Go | github.com/containerd/containerd | >= 1.6.0, < 1.6.18 | 1.6.18 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
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.
### Patches
This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.18 and 1.5.18. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue.
### Workarounds
Ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.
