Podman vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

A security regression occurred in cri-o packages released for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform versions 4.9.48, 4.10.31, and 4.11.6, where an incorrect version of cri-o was missing the previously implemented fix for CVE-2022-27652. This regression was designated as CVE-2022-3466 and is specific to Red Hat's cri-o packages (Red Hat Bugzilla).

Technical details

The vulnerability affects the handling of inheritable file capabilities in cri-o. The security regression reintroduced a vulnerability that could allow an attacker with access to programs with inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set during execve(2) execution (Red Hat Bugzilla).

Impact

An attacker with access to programs containing inheritable file capabilities could potentially elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs, potentially leading to privilege escalation (Red Hat Bugzilla).

Mitigation and workarounds

The issue has been addressed in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 through the security advisory RHSA-2022:7398. Users should upgrade to the patched versions to mitigate this vulnerability (Red Hat Advisory).
