QID 355872: Amazon Linux Security Advisory for containerd : ALAS2023-2023-312

This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of standard i/o file descriptors.
If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard i/o file descriptors closed, opening any files can result in unexpected content being read or written with elevated privileges.
Similarly, if a setuid/setgid program is terminated, either via panic or signal, it may leak the contents of its registers. (
