Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-697 advisory.

2024-08-28: CVE-2024-24790 was added to this advisory.

2024-08-09: CVE-2023-47108 was removed from this advisory.

The protojson.Unmarshal function can enter an infinite loop when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid JSON. This condition can occur when unmarshaling into a message which contains a google.protobuf.Any value, or when the UnmarshalOptions.DiscardUnknown option is set. (CVE-2024-24786)

The various Is methods (IsPrivate, IsLoopback, etc) did not work as expected for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, returning false for addresses which would return true in their traditional IPv4 forms.
(CVE-2024-24790)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update containerd --releasever 2023.5.20240805' to update your system.
