Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202212-7 - An integer overflow vulnerability has been found in libksba which could result in remote code execution. Versions less than 1.6.3 are affected.

### Impact It is possible to craft an environment variable with newlines to add entries to a container's /etc/passwd. It is possible to circumvent admission validation of username/UID by adding such an entry. Note: because the pod author is in control of the container's /etc/passwd, this is not considered a new risk factor. However, this advisory is being opened for transparency and as a way of tracking fixes. ### Patches 1.26.0 will have the fix. More patches will be posted as they're available. ### Workarounds Additional security controls like SELinux should prevent any damage a container is able to do with root on the host. Using SELinux is recommended because this class of attack is already possible by manually editing the container's /etc/passwd ### References

Some Dahua software products have a vulnerability of unauthenticated un-throttled ICMP requests on remote DSS Server. After bypassing the firewall access control policy, by sending a specific crafted packet to the vulnerable interface, an attacker could exploit the victim server to launch ICMP request attack to the designated target host.
