CVE-2024-22036 Details
Description
A vulnerability has been identified within Rancher where a cluster or node driver can be used to escape the chroot jail and gain root access to the Rancher container itself. In production environments, further privilege escalation is possible based on living off the land within the Rancher container itself. For the test and development environments, based on a –privileged Docker container, it is possible to escape the Docker container and gain execution access on the host system. This issue affects rancher: from 2.7.0 before 2.7.16, from 2.8.0 before 2.8.9, from 2.9.0 before 2.9.3.
A critical vulnerability in Rancher allows cluster or node drivers to escape the chroot jail and gain root access to the Rancher container. This issue affects Rancher versions 2.7.0 prior to 2.7.16, 2.8.0 prior to 2.8.9, and 2.9.0 prior to 2.9.3. In production environments, this vulnerability could lead to further privilege escalation by exploiting existing permissions within the Rancher container. In test and development environments, where a privileged Docker container is used, it is possible to escape the Docker container and execute commands on the host system.
Users can upgrade to Rancher versions 2.7.16, 2.8.9, or 2.9.3 to address this vulnerability. If an upgrade is not possible, it is recommended to only use trusted drivers and limit the use of Admins/Restricted Admins to trusted users.
