Summary

A flaw was found in Go. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container. This issue also allows attackers to access critical host files, bypassing the intended isolation between containers and the host system.

Risk Assessment

Risk of breaking container isolation and accessing sensitive host data, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Upgrade the containers/common library and container runtimes to patched versions. Restrict FIPS mode usage if not required.
