Rocky Linux 8 : container-tools:2.0 (RLSA-2021:4221)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 184822

Synopsis

The remote Rocky Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2021:4221 advisory.

- An information disclosure flaw was found in Buildah, when building containers using chroot isolation.
Running processes in container builds (e.g. Dockerfile RUN commands) can access environment variables from parent and grandparent processes. When run in a container in a CI/CD environment, environment variables may include sensitive information that was shared with the container in order to be used only by Buildah itself (e.g. container registry credentials). (CVE-2021-3602)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
