CVE-2026-47262

A flaw was found in containerd, an open-source container runtime. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a maliciously crafted image. When a container is created from this image, it leads to uncontrolled resource consumption and memory exhaustion, causing the containerd process to terminate. This results in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, making the container runtime API unavailable and disrupting clients like Docker Engine or Kubernetes.

CVE-2026-53492

A flaw was found in containerd, an open-source container runtime. The Container Runtime Interface (CRI) implementation, which allows Kubernetes to interact with container runtimes, improperly trusts Container Device Interface (CDI) annotations found within untrusted checkpoint image metadata during container restoration. This vulnerability enables a user with permissions to create pods to bypass standard Kubernetes resource allocation and device plugin enforcement. Consequently, an attacker can inject arbitrary CDI edits, such as device nodes and host mounts, into the restored container, potentially leading to unauthorized resource access or privilege escalation.
