NVIDIA Container Toolkit < 1.17 Data Tampering

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210406

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of NVIDIA Container Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 1.17. It is, therefore, affected by a data tampering vulnerability as referenced in the November 2024 Security Bulletin.

 - NVIDIA Container Toolkit and NVIDIA GPU Operator for Linux contain a UNIX vulnerability where a specially crafted container image can lead to the creation of unauthorized files on the host. The name and location of the files cannot be controlled by an attacker. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to data tampering.

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

Solution

Upgrade to NVIDIA Container Toolkit version 1.17 or later.
