Incomplete Patch Leaves NVIDIA and Docker Users at Risk

NVIIA’s incomplete security patch, combined with a Docker vulnerability, creates a serious threat for organizations using containerized environments. This article explains the risks and mitigation strategies.

Trend Micro found major flaws in the NVIDIA Container Toolkit and Docker, risking container escapes, DoS attacks and AI infrastructure. Users should audit setups and apply fixes.

Trend Micro Research has recently exposed a critical security vulnerability affecting the NVIDIA Container Toolkit and Docker and threatening systems utilizing these technologies.

The research, shared with Hackread.com, indicates that this issue is caused by a previously issued security update by NVIDIA in September 2024, intended to address a vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-0132 within the NVIDIA Container Toolkit, which was incomplete. This oversight leaves systems susceptible to probable container escape attacks.

Trend Micro’s findings reveal that the incomplete patch for CVE-2024-0132 leaves a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability within the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. This vulnerability ...
