20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |

32 |
1 app-containers/apptainer < 1.1.2 >= 1.1.2 |
33 |
|
34 |
Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
The Go module "sif" version 2.8.0 and older, which is a statically |
38 |
linked dependency of Apptainer, does not verify that the hash |
39 |
algorithm(s) used are cryptographically secure when verifying digital |
40 |
signatures. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
An image whose verification relies on a cryptographically insecure hash |
46 |
algorithm could be replaced, resulting in users using an image other |
47 |
than the one that was expected. |
48 |
|
49 |
Workaround |
50 |
========== |
51 |
|
52 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
53 |
|
54 |
Resolution |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
All Apptainer users should upgrade to the latest version: |
58 |
|
59 |
# emerge --sync |
60 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-containers/apptainer-1.1.2" |
