Vulnerabilities description

  • CVE-2025-52881

    A flaw was found in runc. This is a flaw that allowed an attacker to trick runc into writing the LSM process labels for a container process into a dummy tmpfs file and thus not apply the correct LSM labels to the container process.

  • CVE-2025-58183

    A flaw was found in the archive/tar package in the Go standard library. tar.Reader does not set a maximum size on the number of sparse region data blocks in GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files. A specially crafted tar archive with a pax header indicating a big number of sparse regions can cause a Go program to try to allocate a large amount of memory, causing an out-of-memory condition and resulting in a denial of service.
