Description Marian Rehak 2022-03-02 14:41:29 UTC
A bug was found in containerd where containers launched through containerd's CRI implementation with a specially-crafted image configuration could gain access to read-only copies of arbitrary files and directories on the host. This may bypass any policy-based enforcement on container setup and expose potentially sensitive information.

Marking Services low impact affected/delegated: containerd is present, but OCP/OSD uses cri-o by default.
