CVE-2024-9675: Buildah: buildah allows arbitrary directory mount

First published: Wed Oct 09 2024(Updated: )

A vulnerability was found in Buildah. Cache mounts do not properly validate that user-specified paths for the cache are within our cache directory, allowing a `RUN` instruction in a Container file to mount an arbitrary directory from the host (read/write) into the container as long as those files can be accessed by the user running Buildah.
