Technical Summary
This advisory covers security fixes in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17.15, specifically addressing CVE-2024-9676, a symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library affecting Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O, which can lead to Denial of Service. It also addresses CVE-2024-52798, a ReDoS vulnerability in the path-to-regexp library version 0.1.x. The vulnerabilities are rated as moderate impact. The advisory provides updated container images and RPM packages for affected architectures and instructs users to upgrade to the fixed versions. The affected versions are OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 releases prior to 4.17.15.
Potential Impact
The symlink traversal vulnerability (CVE-2024-9676) in containers/storage can cause Denial of Service conditions in container runtimes Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O. The ReDoS vulnerability (CVE-2024-52798) in path-to-regexp can also lead to Denial of Service by exploiting inefficient regular expression processing. Both vulnerabilities could disrupt container platform operations but do not indicate remote code execution or privilege escalation. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released OpenShift Container Platform 4.17.15 with fixes for these vulnerabilities. Users running versions >=4.17.0 and <4.17.15 should upgrade to 4.17.15 or later using the OpenShift CLI (oc) or web console. Detailed upgrade instructions are available in the official Red Hat OpenShift documentation. No additional mitigations are required beyond applying the official update.
