NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream crun package and not the crun package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.24 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in crun. When crun is built with libkrun and a container is started rootful with passt networking (krun.use_passt), crun can execute attacker-controlled payload from the container image with host root privileges. The issue is a regression in crun 1.29. It affects crun >= 1.29
