Red Hat Security Advisory: buildah security update
The buildah package provides a tool for facilitating building OCI container images. Among other things, buildah enables you to: Create a working container, either from scratch or using an image as a starting point; Create an image, either from a working container or using the instructions in a Dockerfile; Build both Docker and OCI images. Security Fix(es): * Buildah: Podman: Improper Input Validation in bind-propagation Option of Dockerfile RUN --mount Instruction (CVE-2024-9407) * Podman: Buildah: CRI-O: symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library can cause Denial of Service (DoS) (CVE-2024-9676) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
