github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit fixed: 1.16.2 
Upgrade github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit to 1.16.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-0132, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia container toolkit:

inspect dependencies for github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia container toolkit in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.16.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition, where the product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource's state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. In Github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia container toolkit, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

NVIDIA Container Toolkit 1.16.1 or earlier contains a Time-of-check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability when used with default configuration where a specifically crafted container image may gain access to the host file system. This does not impact use cases where CDI is used. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
