NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ceph-base package and not the ceph-base package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

containerd is an open source container runtime. Before versions 1.6.18 and 1.5.18, when importing an OCI image, there was no limit on the number of bytes read for certain files. A maliciously crafted image with a large file where a limit was not applied could cause a denial of service. This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.18 and 1.5.18. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. As a workaround, ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.
