06/03/2024: CVE-2024-21626: runc process.cwd and leaked fds container breakout

CVE ID: CVE-2024-21626

CVE link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-23919

Original report

https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/security/advisories/GHSA-xr7r-f8xq-vfvv

Summary

runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers on Linux according to the OCI specification. In runc 1.1.11 and earlier, due to an internal file descriptor leak, an attacker could cause a newly-spawned container process (from runc exec) to have a working directory in the host filesystem namespace, allowing for a container escape by giving access to the host filesystem («attack 2»). The same attack could be used by a malicious image to allow a container process to gain access to the host filesystem through runc run «attack 1»). Variants of attacks 1 and 2 could be also be used to overwrite semi-arbitrary host binaries, allowing for complete container escapes («attack 3a» and «attack 3b»).

runc 1.1.12 includes patches for this issue.

Vulnerable products and versions

NGINX: Up to version 1.9.0

Recommendations for vulnerability detection and additional materials

Here is what we recommend in order to avoid exploiting these vulnerabilities:

  1. Update NGINX Ingress Controller to 1.9.0; this version has annotation validation, while the custom snippets are disabled by default.

  2. Add the --enable-annotation-validation argument to the controller startup options.

  3. Add the strict-validate-path-type option to Configmap.

  4. Use a policy engine, such as Kyverno, to validate the paths used in the Ingress rules. You can find this ready-to-use policy on the Kyverno website.

Safe version of vulnerable product or patch

The vulnerability has been fixed as of version 1.9.0.

How it impacts Yandex Cloud services

These vulnerabilities are irrelevant when using Yandex Cloud ALB Ingress Controller, as it is based on different technologies and does not have any annotations or settings that may lead to such vulnerabilities.

13/04/2023: CVE-2023-26463: StrongSwan IPsec: Incorrectly Accepted Untrusted Public Key With Incorrect Refcount

CVE ID: CVE-2023-26463

Link to CVE: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2023-26463

Original report

https://www.strongswan.org/blog/2023/03/02/strongswan-vulnerability-(cve-2023-26463).html

Summary

The TLS implementation in libtls incorrectly treats the public key from the peer's certificate as trusted, even if the certificate cannot be verified successfully. However, the public key does not have the correct reference count either, which then causes a dereference of an expired pointer. This commonly leads to a segmentation fault and a denial of service; however, the information exposure or code execution might still be possible.

An attacker is able to trigger this issue by sending a self-signed (or otherwise untrusted) certificate to a server that authenticates clients with a TLS-based EAP method, such as EAP-TLS. Clients may be similarly vulnerable to attackers that send them a request for such an EAP method followed by an untrusted server certificate. Affected versions: StrongSwan 5.9.8 and 5.9.9.

Technologies affected

StrongSwan IPsec

Vulnerable products and versions

StrongSwan IPsec prior to 5.9.10

Vendor

StrongSwan IPsec

Attack vector and severity level per CVSS v.3.0

Not rated as of 29/03/2023.

Recommendations for vulnerability detection and supporting materials

Servers that do not load plugins that implement TLS-based EAP methods (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP, or EAP-TNC) are not vulnerable. If these plugins are loaded, they must not be used as a remote authentication method. You should not use the eap-dynamic plugin either, since it allows clients to choose their preferred EAP method. Servers that use TLS-based methods via the eap-radius plugin and only configure that as a remote authentication method are also not vulnerable.

Safe version of vulnerable product or patch

StrongSwan IPsec starting with version 5.9.10.

Impact on Yandex Cloud services

The StrongSwan IPsec image in Yandex Cloud Marketplace is not vulnerable according to https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-26463. If you are using a custom image on your VMs and it is vulnerable, we recommend that you update it on your own.
