CVE-2026-47262 Â (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade github.com/containerd/containerd/oci to version 1.7.33 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the group parsing process. An attacker can cause memory exhaustion and disrupt the container runtime API by supplying a maliciously crafted image that triggers unbounded parsing, leading to an Out Of Memory kill of the runtime process. This can affect clients that rely on the runtime, such as orchestration or management components.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by ensuring that only trusted images are used and restricting image import or pod scheduling permissions to trusted users.
