Published Sep 26, 2024

Description

NVIDIA Container Toolkit 1.16.1 or earlier contains a vulnerability in the default mode of operation allowing a specially crafted container image to create empty files on the host file system. This does not impact use cases where CDI is used. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to data tampering.

Remediation

Red Hat statement

Due to certain circumstances, this vulnerability in the NVIDIA Container Toolkit is not affecting Red Hat Products and is rated as Important severity rather than Critical. First, a specifically crafted container image is required for effective exploitation. Only Red Hat Signed containers are offered. Additionally, user interaction is required for exploitation, further reducing the likelihood of an attack. Most importantly, this vulnerability does not impact use cases that comply with our operating procedures by utilizing the Container Device Interface (CDI). As a result, this vulnerability does not affect Red Hat products because of the use of CDI. Furthermore, for an attacker to deploy a crafted container image, they would need an environment that permits untrusted containers, which is a scenario that is not typical for Red Hat customers.

Red Hat mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
