CVE-2021-41103

CVE-2021-41103 affects containerd and stems from insufficiently restricted permissions on container root directories and some plugins, enabling unprivileged host users to traverse directories, read/modify files, and potentially execute programs (including those with extended permission bits). The...

CVE-2022-23471

CVE-2022-23471 affects containerd’s CRI implementation where a terminal resize handling goroutine in the CRI stream server can leak memory if a child fails to launch.

CVE-2021-21334

CVE-2021-21334 affects containerd’s CRI plugin: when multiple containers/pods are launched from the same image, containers may receive incorrect environment variables shared across them, potentially exposing sensitive data. The issue is fixed in containerd versions 1.3.10 and 1.4.4; affected envi...

CVE-2024-40635

CVE-2024-40635 affects containerd. A bug allows containers launched with a UID:GID that exceeds the 32‑bit signed integer max to overflow, causing the container to run as root (UID 0). Fixed in containerd releases: 1.6.38, 1.7.27, and 2.0.4. Workarounds include using only trusted images and restr...

CVE-2020-15157

The CVE-2020-15157 issue affects containerd (pre-1.2.14) where the default resolver would leak credentials when a container image manifest points to a foreign layer. If a manifest directs a layer URL to a attacker‑controlled web server and the image is pulled, credentials used for the registry co...

CVE-2021-43816

CVE-2021-43816 affects containerd (CRI) on SELinux-enabled distros (EL8/CentOS/RHEL, Fedora, SUSE MicroOS). An unprivileged pod could bind-mount a privileged host file via hostPath at /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, or /etc/resolv.conf, relabeling that path to the container process label and potential...

CVE-2025-47291

CVE-2025-47291 concerns containerd’s CRI: versions 2.0.1–2.0.4 do not place usernamespaced containers under the Kubernetes cgroup hierarchy, which may cause Kubernetes limits to not be honored and could lead to node denial of service. The issue is fixed in containerd 2.0.5+ and 2.1.0+. Remediatio...

CVE-2026-46680

CVE-2026-46680 concerns containerd, the container runtime. A flaw in how numeric User directives are parsed (not a 32-bit integer) can cause such values to be treated as usernames, enabling runAsNonRoot evasion. If a crafted image supplies an /etc/passwd mapping that maps this large numeric strin...

CVE-2025-47290

CVE-2025-47290 affects containerd v2.1.0, where a TOCTOU flaw during image unpack could allow an attacker to arbitrarily modify the host filesystem. The issue is limited to 2.1.0; 2.1.1 fixes it. Affected guidance: upgrade to containerd 2.1.1+; as a workaround, use only trusted images and restric...

CVE-2026-47262

CVE-2026-47262 affects containerd where a maliciously crafted image can trigger a Denial of Service by exhausting memory during container creation, causing an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) kill of the containerd process and making the runtime API unavailable (impacting clients like Docker Engine and Kubern...

CVE-2026-53488

CVE-2026-53488 affects containerd’s CRI plugin: image config LABELs are propagated to containers without validation, enabling potential host-command execution via a plugin that consumes labels. Concrete details across connected docs confirm this vulnerability in containerd versions prior to 1.7.3...

CVE-2024-25621

CVE-2024-25621 affects containerd: versions 0.1.0–1.7.28, 2.0.0-beta.0–2.0.6, 2.1.0-beta.0–2.1.4, and 2.2.0-beta.0–2.2.0-rc.1 create directories with overly broad permissions (e.g., /var/lib/containerd, /run/containerd/io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri, /run/containerd/io.containerd.sandbox.controller.v1...

CVE-2026-50195

Containerd CVE-2026-50195 affects CRI checkpoint import: unvalidated image references in a checkpoint config allow an attacker with pod-creation permissions to trigger pulling a malicious image and assign it a local tag, poisoning the node’s local image cache. Subsequent pods on the same node usi...
