CVE-2020-28914 (GCVE-0-2020-28914)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-11-17 21:23 – Updated: 2024-08-04 16:41
VLAI
Summary
An improper file permissions vulnerability affects Kata Containers prior to 1.11.5. When using a Kubernetes hostPath volume and mounting either a file or directory into a container as readonly, the file/directory is mounted as readOnly inside the container, but is still writable inside the guest. For a container breakout situation, a malicious guest can potentially modify or delete files/directories expected to be read-only.
