| Go | github.com/containerd/containerd/v2 | >= 2.0.1, < 2.0.5 | 2.0.5 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
# Impact
A bug was found in the containerd's CRI implementation where containerd doesn't put usernamespaced containers under the Kubernetes' cgroup hierarchy, therefore some Kubernetes limits are not honored. This may cause a denial of service of the Kubernetes node.
# Patches
This bug has been fixed in containerd 2.0.5+ and 2.1.0+. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue.
# Workarounds
Disable usernamespaced pods in Kubernetes temporarily.
# Credits
The containerd project would like to thank Rodrigo Campos Catelin and Piotr Rogowski for responsibly disclosing this issue in accordance with the [containerd security policy](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/SECURITY.md).
