This patch release include backports of security fixes and some bug fixes.

Security fixes included:

  • Readonly bind-mounts are now mounted read-only on the host. With this fix, mounts are protected at VM boundary not just the guest kernel. If a container escape were to occur, one would be able to write to a directory or file that was mounted read-only.
  • Certain annotations in kata can be used to execute pre-exiting binaries. This could be used to execute arbitrary binaries with the onus of validating these paths left to the stack about Kata. In this release, we added appropriate validations so that an admin can configure a list of file system paths that can be used to filter annotations that represent valid file names.
