Prior to 1.7.35, 2.0.12, 2.2.8, and 2.3.5, containerd's layer unpack handler repeatedly traverses directories for certain opaque whiteout configurations. A malicious image layer can trigger repeated directory traversals while opaque whiteouts are processed. Pulling or importing the image can consume CPU, delay container startup, and reduce image-pull concurrency for unrelated deployments. This issue is fixed in versions 1.7.35, 2.0.12, 2.2.8, and 2.3.5.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":["CWE-400","CWE-407"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/e6ca378dcfa610d06589a3ac96aa992de866e4f0","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/GHSA-rp3h-jf77-q9p4","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/e6ca378dcfa610d06589a3ac96aa992de866e4f0","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/GHSA-rp3h-jf77-q9p4","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
