  - Apptainer is an open source container platform. In Apptainer versions less than 1.4.5, a container can
    disable two of the forms of the little used --security option, in particular the forms
    --security=apparmor:<profile> and --security=selinux:<label> which otherwise put restrictions on
    operations that containers can do. The --security option has always been mentioned in Apptainer
    documentation as being a feature for the root user, although these forms do also work for unprivileged
    users on systems where the corresponding feature is enabled. Apparmor is enabled by default on Debian-
    based distributions and SElinux is enabled by default on RHEL-based distributions, but on SUSE it depends
    on the distribution version. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.5. (CVE-2025-65105)
