NVIDIA Toolkit UNIX File Creation Vulnerability
CVE-2024-0134 Published on November 5, 2024
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.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2024-0134 is exploitable with network access, requires user interaction and a small amount of user privileges. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have no impact on confidentiality, with no impact on integrity, and no impact on availability.
Weakness Type
What is a Symlink following Vulnerability?
The software, when opening a file or directory, does not sufficiently account for when the file is a symbolic link that resolves to a target outside of the intended control sphere. This could allow an attacker to cause the software to operate on unauthorized files. A software system that allows UNIX symbolic links (symlink) as part of paths whether in internal code or through user input can allow an attacker to spoof the symbolic link and traverse the file system to unintended locations or access arbitrary files. The symbolic link can permit an attacker to read/write/corrupt a file that they originally did not have permissions to access.
CVE-2024-0134 has been classified to as a Symlink following vulnerability or weakness.
