{"id":"AZL-50614","summary":"CVE-2024-9676 affecting package buildah for versions less than 1.41.4-2","details":"A vulnerability was found in Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O. A symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library can cause Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O to hang and result in a denial of service via OOM kill when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). The containers/storage library will read /etc/passwd inside the container, but does not properly validate if that file is a symlink, which can be used to cause the library to read an arbitrary file on the host.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:17:33.771498Z","published":"2024-10-15T16:15:06Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-9676"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-9676"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"buildah","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/buildah"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.41.4-2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-50614.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
