Package

containerd (bottlerocket)

Affected versions

< 1.5.2

Patched versions

1.5.2

Description

Containers launched through containerd’s CRI implementation on Linux systems which use the SELinux security module and containerd versions since v1.5.0-beta.0 can cause arbitrary files and directories on the host to be relabeled to match the container process label through the use of specially-configured bind mounts in a hostPath volume. This relabeling elevates permissions for the container, granting full read/write access over the affected files and directories. Kubernetes is configured in Bottlerocket to use containerd’s CRI implementation.
