QID 357058: Amazon Linux Security Advisory for containerd : ALAS2NITRO-ENCLAVES-2024-035

an attacker may cause a denial of service by crafting an accept-language header which parseacceptlanguage will take significant time to parse. (
( CVE-2022-32149) a request smuggling attack is possible when using maxbyteshandler.
When using maxbyteshandler, the body of an http request is not fully consumed.
When the server attempts to read http2 frames from the connection, it will instead be reading the body of the http request, which could be attacker-manipulated to represent arbitrary http2 requests. (
( CVE-2022-41721) containerd is an open source container runtime.
Before versions 1.6.18 and 1.5.18, when importing an oci image, there was no limit on the number of bytes read for certain files.
A maliciously crafted image with a large file where a limit was not applied could cause a denial of service.
This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.18 and 1.5.18.
Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue.
As a workaround, ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images. (
( CVE-2023-25153) containerd is an open source container runtime.
A bug was found in containerd prior to versions 1.6.18 and 1.5.18 where supplementary groups are not set up properly inside a container.
If an attacker has direct access to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use supplementary group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access to sensitive information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container.
Downstream applications that use the containerd client library may be affected as well.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a securitybreach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
