High [CVE-2024-11218] Podman: buildah: container breakout by using --jobs=2 and a race condition when building a malicious containerfile
CVE-2024-11218Source published Source updated
A vulnerability was found in `podman build` and `buildah.` This issue occurs in a container breakout by using --jobs=2 and a race condition when building a malicious Containerfile. SELinux might mitigate it, but even with SELinux on, it still allows the enumeration of files and directories on the host. This vulnerability marked as important severity rather than moderate because it allows a malicious Containerfile to exploit the `--mount` flag in `RUN` instructions to directly interact with the build host's filesystem. By leveraging this, an attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive files or inject malicious content using the privileges of the build process. In environments where the build process is executed by a root-owned Podman system service exposed to unprivileged users…

- Mitigation guidance
- Mandatory access controls should limit the access of the process performing the build, on systems where they are enabled. SELinux enforces strict access controls by confining the build process (e.g., Podman) to specific domains like container_t. This prevents unauthorized access to sensitive host files and directories, even if a malicious Containerfile tries to exploit the --mount flag.
