GHSA-cxfp-7pvr-95ff containerd CRI plugin: Incorrect cgroup hierarchy assignment for containers running in usernamespaced Kubernetes pods.

• Go github.com/containerd/containerd/v2: >= 2.0.1, < 2.0.5 → fixed in 2.0.5

Impact A bug was found in the containerd's CRI implementation where containerd doesn't put usernamespaced containers under the Kubernetes' cgroup hierarchy, therefore some Kubernetes limits are not honored. This may cause a denial of service of the Kubernetes node. Patches This bug has been fixed in containerd 2.0.5+ and 2.1.0+. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. Workarounds Disable usernamespaced pods in Kubernetes temporarily.
