openSUSE: Critical Privilege Escalation Issues in nvidia-container-toolkit

opensuse

November 24, 2025

An update that solves nine vulnerabilities can now be installed.

Description

This update for nvidia-container-toolkit fixes the following issues:

* Update to version 1.18.0:

* This is a major release and includes the following high-level changes:

* The default mode of the NVIDIA Container Runtime has been updated to make use of a just-in-time-generated CDI specification instead of defaulting to the legacy mode.

* Added a systemd unit to generate CDI specifications for available devices automatically. This allows native CDI support in container engines such as Docker and Podman to be used without additional steps.

* Security issues fixed:

* CVE-2024-0133: Fixed data tampering in host file system via specially

crafted container image (bsc#1231032)

* CVE-2024-0132: Fixed time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in

default configuration via specifically crafted container image (bsc#1231033)

* CVE-2024-0134: Fixed specially-crafted container image can lead to the

creation of unauthorized files on the host (bsc#1232855)
