Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs bug fix and enhancement update
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: An update for Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs is now available.
Details: This update includes the following RPMs: crun: * crun-1.28-2.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * crun-krun-1.28-2.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * crun-wasm-1.28-2.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * crun-1.28-2.hum1.src (src)

A flaw was found in crun, an OCI Container Runtime. When processing an OCI bundle where the container root filesystem's /dev directory is a symbolic link and /dev is not explicitly mounted, crun incorrectly follows this symlink outside the container's intended boundaries. This allows a local attacker to create or overwrite device nodes and symlinks in arbitrary locations on the host system, potentially leading to privilege escalation or denial of service.

CWE-59 - Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
