Vulnerability Details
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-2024-24557
DESCRIPTION: Moby could provide weaker than expected security, caused by improper cache validation in the classic builder cache system. By persuading a victim to open a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a cache poisoning attack.
CWE: CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 6.9
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-24786
DESCRIPTION: Protocol Buffers protobuf-go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an infinite loop flaw in the rotojson.Unmarshal function when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid JSON. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.

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.
