CVE-2020-2023 Kata Containers - Containers have access to the guest root filesystem device
PublishedMediumCVSS 6.3 EPSS 1.1%Kata Containers doesn't restrict containers from accessing the guest's root filesystem device. Malicious containers can exploit this to gain code execution on the guest and masquerade as the kata-agent. This issue affects Kata Containers 1.11 versions earlier than 1.11.1; Kata Co...

HighCVSS 8.8 EPSS 0.48%
A malicious guest compromised before a container creation (e.g. a malicious guest image or a guest running multiple containers) can trick the kata runtime into mounting the untrusted container filesystem on any host path, potentially allowing for code execution on the host. This...
