GHSA-5662-cv6m-63wh: melange's world-writable permissions expose SBOM files to potential image tampering

It was discovered that the SBOM files generated by melange in apks had file system permissions mode 666: ``` $ apkrane ls https://packages.wolfi.dev/os/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz -P hello-wolfi --full --latest | xargs wget -q -O - | tar tzv 2>/dev/null var/lib/db/sbom drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2025-06-23 14:17 var/lib/db/sbom -rw-rw-rw- root/root 3383 2025-06-23 14:17 var/lib/db/sbom/hello-wolfi-2.12.2-r1.spdx.json ``` This issue was introduced in commit 1b272db ("Persist workspace filesystem throughout package builds (#1836)") ([v0.23.0](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/melange/releases/tag/v0.23.0)). ### Impact This potentially allows an unprivileged user to tamper with apk SBOMs on a running image, potentially confusing security scanners. An attacker could also perform a DoS under special circumstances. ### Patches This issue was addressed in melange in e29494b ("fix: tighten up permissions for written SBOM files and signature tarballs (#2086)") ([v0.29.5](https://github...

GHSA-x6ph-r535-3vjw: apko is vulnerable to attack through incorrect permissions in /etc/ld.so.cache and other files

It was discovered that the ld.so.cache in images generated by apko had file system permissions mode `0666`: ``` bash-5.3# find / -type f -perm -o+w /etc/ld.so.cache ``` This issue was introduced in commit [04f37e2 ("generate /etc/ld.so.cache (#1629)")](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/apko/commit/04f37e2d50d5a502e155788561fb7d40de705bd9)([v0.27.0](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/apko/releases/tag/v0.27.0)). ### Impact This potentially allows a local unprivileged user to add additional additional directories including dynamic libraries to the dynamic loader path. A user could exploit this by placing a malicious library in a directory they control. ### Patches This issue was addressed in apko in [aedb077 ("fix: /etc/ld.so.cache file permissions (#1758)")](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/apko/commit/aedb0772d6bf6e74d8f17690946dbc791d0f6af3) ([v0.29.5](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/apko/releases/tag/v0.29.5)). ### Acknowledgements Many thanks to Cody Harris from [H2O.ai](htt...

GHSA-fm79-3f68-h2fc: Wasmtime CLI is vulnerable to host panic through its fd_renumber function

### Summary A bug in Wasmtime's implementation of the WASIp1 set of import functions can lead to a WebAssembly guest inducing a panic in the host (embedder). The specific bug is triggered by calling `path_open` after calling `fd_renumber` with either: - two equal argument values - second argument being equal to a previously-closed file descriptor number value The corrupt state introduced in `fd_renumber` will lead to the subsequent opening of a file descriptor to panic. This panic cannot introduce memory unsafety or allow WebAssembly to break outside of its sandbox, however. There is no possible heap corruption or memory unsafety from this panic. This bug is in the implementation of Wasmtime's `wasmtime-wasi` crate which provides an implementation of WASIp1. The bug requires a specially crafted call to `fd_renumber` in addition to the ability to open a subsequent file descriptor. Opening a second file descriptor is only possible when a preopened directory was provided to the guest, ...
