High (8.2) in linuxfoundation containerd. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/containerd/containerd/v2 2.1.9, 2.2.5, 2.3.2.
containerd is an open-source container runtime. Versions prior to 2.3.2, 2.2.5 and 2.1.9 contain a bug where the CRI plugin restores container.log from a checkpoint image without validating a symlinked path. This could result in reading an arbitrary file on the host via kubectl logs. This issue has been fixed in versions 2.3.2, 2.2.5 and 2.1.9.
