Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: containerd / cri-tools / docker-buildx / docker-compose / moby-containerd-cc (CVE-2023-47108)

high Nessus Plugin ID 215286

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of containerd / cri-tools / docker-buildx / docker-compose / moby-containerd-cc installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-47108 advisory.

 - OpenTelemetry-Go Contrib is a collection of third-party packages for OpenTelemetry-Go. Prior to version 0.46.0, the grpc Unary Server Interceptor out of the box adds labels `net.peer.sock.addr` and `net.peer.sock.port` that have unbound cardinality. It leads to the server's potential memory exhaustion when many malicious requests are sent. An attacker can easily flood the peer address and port for requests. Version 0.46.0 contains a fix for this issue. As a workaround to stop being affected, a view removing the attributes can be used. The other possibility is to disable grpc metrics instrumentation by passing `otelgrpc.WithMeterProvider` option with `noop.NewMeterProvider`. (CVE-2023-47108)

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.
