6.4 MEDIUM

Low-privilege access needed to submit build requests (PR:L); Seccomp/AppArmor bypass changes container security scope (S:C) with limited confidentiality and integrity impact; capabilities still enforced so no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. Prior to 0.31.1, a custom frontend could place an invalid SecurityMode value in a crafted build request, and executor/oci/spec_linux.go treated the unsupported value as a non-sandbox mode without requiring the security.insecure entitlement. This disabled Seccomp and AppArmor protections for the build container even though Linux capabilities remained restricted. This issue is fixed in version 0.31.1.

AnalysisAI

Seccomp and AppArmor protections in BuildKit build containers can be silently disabled by a custom frontend submitting an invalid SecurityMode integer value in a crafted build request. Affected versions are BuildKit <= 0.31.0 on Linux. …
