NVD Description

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

containerd is an open-source container runtime. Prior to versions 1.7.36, 2.0.13, 2.2.9, 2.3.6, and 2.4.1, a crafted OCI index graph can force very high CPU/memory usage during PullImage (before container start), causing long ContainerCreating stalls and, at larger sizes, node/runtime instability. Versions 1.7.36, 2.0.13, 2.2.9, 2.3.6, and 2.4.1 fix the issue.
