Summary
containerd vulnerabilities
Details

David Korczynski and Adam Korczynski discovered that containerd incorrectly processed certain images with large files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause containerd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-25153)

It was discovered that containerd incorrectly set up supplementary groups inside a container. An attacker with direct access to the container could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information or execute code with higher privileges. (CVE-2023-25173)
