GHSA-265r-hfxg-fhmg containerd has an integer overflow in User ID handling

• Go github.com/containerd/containerd/v2: < 2.0.4 → fixed in 2.0.4 • Go github.com/containerd/containerd: >= 1.7.0-beta.0, < 1.7.27 → fixed in 1.7.27 • Go github.com/containerd/containerd: < 1.6.38 → fixed in 1.6.38

Impact A bug was found in containerd where containers launched with a User set as a `UID:GID` larger than the maximum 32-bit signed integer can cause an overflow condition where the container ultimately runs as root (UID 0). This could cause unexpected behavior for environments that require containers to run as a non-root user. Patches This bug has been fixed in the following containerd versions: • 2.0.4 (Fixed in https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/1a43cb6a1035441f9aca8f5666a9b3ef9e70ab20) • 1.7.27 (Fixed in https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/05044ec0a9a75232cad458027ca83437aae3f4da) • 1.6.38 (Fixed in https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/cf158e884cfe4812a6c371b59e4ea9bc4c46e51a) Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. Workarounds Ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.
