Description
An issue was discovered in Singularity 3.1.0 to 3.2.0-rc2, a malicious user with local/network access to the host system (e.g. ssh) could exploit this vulnerability due to insecure permissions allowing a user to edit files within `/run/singularity/instances/sing/<user>/<instance>`. The manipulation of those files can change the behavior of the starter-suid program when instances are joined resulting in potential privilege escalation on the host.
Affected configurations
• sylabs singularity (>= 3.1.0 < 3.2.0)
• sylabs singularity 3.2.0
• fedoraproject fedora 28
• fedoraproject fedora 29
• fedoraproject fedora 30
• opensuse backports sle-15
