containerd is an open source container runtime. Before versions 1.6.18 and 1.5.18, when importing an OCI image, there was no limit on the number of bytes read for certain files. A maliciously crafted image with a large file where a limit was not applied could cause a denial of service. This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.18 and 1.5.18. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. As a workaround, ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.

CVE-2023-25153 [MEDIUM] containerd vulnerabilities
Title: containerd vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in containerd.
David Korczynski and Adam Korczynski discovered that containerd
incorrectly processed certain images with large files. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause containerd to crash,
resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-25153)
It was discovered that containerd incorrectly set up supplementary
groups inside a container. An attacker with direct access to the
container could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information
or execute code with higher privileges. (CVE-2023-25173)
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
