CVSS Base score: 2.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-27561
DESCRIPTION: Open Container Initiative runc could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by improper access control in libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. By sending a specially-crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges to run custom images.
CWE: CWE-706: Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-28642
DESCRIPTION: runc could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a symbolic link following vulnerability. By creating a symbolic link inside a container to the /proc directory, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass AppArmor and SELinux protections.
CWE: CWE-281: Improper Preservation of Permissions
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-21626
DESCRIPTION: Open Container Initiative runc could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an internal file descriptor leak. By persuading a victim to use a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform container escape to access to the host filesystem.
CWE: CWE-403: Exposure of File Descriptor to Unintended Control Sphere ('File Descriptor Leak')
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 8.6
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-56201
DESCRIPTION: Jinja is an extensible templating engine. In versions on the 3.x branch prior to 3.1.5, a bug in the Jinja compiler allows an attacker that controls both the content and filename of a template to execute arbitrary Python code, regardless of if Jinja's sandbox is used. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control both the filename and the contents of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates where the template author can also choose the template filename. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.5.
CWE: CWE-150: Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 8.8
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-56326
DESCRIPTION: Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Prior to 3.1.5, An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.5.
CWE: CWE-693: Protection Mechanism Failure
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-48468
DESCRIPTION: protobuf-c before 1.4.1 has an unsigned integer overflow in parse_required_member.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-45491
DESCRIPTION: libexpat could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the dtdCopy function in xmlparse.c. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
