github.com/openshift/source-to-image fixed: 1.1.10-0.20180427153919-f5cbcbc5cc6f
Upgrade github.com/openshift/source-to-image to 1.1.10-0.20180427153919-f5cbcbc5cc6f
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/openshift/source-to-image

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2018-1103, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/openshift/source to image:

inspect dependencies for github.com/openshift/source-to-image

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/openshift/source to image in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1.10-0.20180427153919-f5cbcbc5cc6f), 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-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Github.com/openshift/source to image, 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

Openshift Enterprise source-to-image before version 1.1.10 is vulnerable to an improper validation of user input. An attacker who could trick a user into using the command to copy files locally, from a pod, could override files outside of the target directory of the command. ### Specific Go Packages Affected github.com/openshift/source-to-image/pkg/tar
