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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-22"],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2024:6126","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:10289","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:8418","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:8428","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:8437"],"products":["redhat:enterprise_linux","redhat:enterprise_linux_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_arm_64","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_arm_64_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_aus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_for_power_little_endian_update_services_for_sap_solutions","redhat:openshift_container_platform","redhat:openshift_container_platform_for_arm64","redhat:openshift_container_platform_for_ibm_z","redhat:openshift_container_platform_for_linuxone","redhat:openshift_container_platform_for_power"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-30T19:40:38.187835185+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-9676","score":0.01336,"percentile":0.71181,"date":"2026-10-30"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
