{"id":"CVE-2025-65105","published":"2025-12-02T17:49:17Z","modified":"2025-12-02T18:46:30Z","title":"Apptainer ineffective application of selinux and apparmor --security options","vendor":"apptainer","product":"apptainer","tier":"tail","description":{"text":"Apptainer is an open source container platform. In Apptainer versions less than 1.4.5, a container can disable two of the forms of the little used --security option, in particular the forms --security=apparmor:<profile> and --security=selinux:<label> which otherwise put restrictions on operations that containers can do. The --security option has always been mentioned in Apptainer documentation as being a feature for the root user, although these forms do also work for unprivileged users on systems where the corresponding feature is enabled. Apparmor is enabled by default on Debian-based distributions and SElinux is enabled by default on RHEL-based distributions, but on SUSE it depends on the distribution version. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.5.","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org"},"cvss":{"score":4.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org CNA"},"epss":{"score":0.00232,"percentile":0.14113,"provenance":"source"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"},{"id":"CWE-706","name":"Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference"}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/security/advisories/GHSA-j3rw-fx6g-q46j","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM"]},{"url":"https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/security/advisories/GHSA-cgrx-mc8f-2prm","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]},{"url":"https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/security/advisories/GHSA-wwrx-w7c9-rf87","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]},{"url":"https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/pull/3226","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]},{"url":"https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/commit/4313b42717e18a4add7dd7503528bc15af905981","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]},{"url":"https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/commit/82f17900a0c31bc769bf9b4612d271c7068d8bf2","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]}],"priority":{"score":6.0,"factors":[{"name":"EPSS percentile","points":2.82},{"name":"CVSS severity","points":3.15}]},"vendorSlug":"apptainer","affectedVersions":[{"vendor":"apptainer","product":"apptainer","versions":["< 1.4.5"]}],"affected":[{"ecosystem":"Go","package":"github.com/apptainer/apptainer","vulnerableRanges":["<1.4.5"],"patched":["1.4.5"],"from":["GHSA-j3rw-fx6g-q46j","GO-2025-4176"],"provenance":"source"}],"euvd":{"id":"EUVD-2025-200292","exploited":false,"provenance":"source"},"lineage":{"familyId":"fam-opencontainers-runc-cve-2016-9962","parents":[{"from":"CVE-2025-52881","to":"CVE-2025-65105","relation":"related","confidence":"high","kind":"lineage","evidence":[{"kind":"osv-related","provenance":"source","id":"GHSA-cgrx-mc8f-2prm","via":"related"},{"kind":"osv-related","provenance":"source","id":"GHSA-j3rw-fx6g-q46j","via":"reference","url":"https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/security/advisories/GHSA-cgrx-mc8f-2prm"},{"kind":"osv-related","provenance":"source","id":"GO-2025-4176","via":"reference","url":"https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/security/advisories/GHSA-cgrx-mc8f-2prm"}]},{"from":"CVE-2025-64750","to":"CVE-2025-65105","relation":"related","confidence":"high","kind":"lineage","evidence":[{"kind":"osv-related","provenance":"source","id":"GHSA-wwrx-w7c9-rf87","via":"related"},{"kind":"osv-related","provenance":"source","id":"GHSA-j3rw-fx6g-q46j","via":"reference","url":"https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/security/advisories/GHSA-wwrx-w7c9-rf87"},{"kind":"osv-related","provenance":"source","id":"GO-2025-4176","via":"reference","url":"https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/security/advisories/GHSA-wwrx-w7c9-rf87"}]}],"packageHistory":[{"cve":"CVE-2023-30549","published":"2023-04-25","fixed":"1.1.8","kev":false},{"cve":"CVE-2023-38496","published":"2023-07-25","fixed":"1.2.1","kev":false},{"cve":"CVE-2025-65105","published":"2025-12-02","fixed":"1.4.5","kev":false},{"cve":"CVE-2026-48785","published":"2026-09-15","fixed":"1.5.1","kev":false,"link":{"from":"CVE-2025-65105","to":"CVE-2026-48785","relation":"successor","confidence":"low","kind":"sequence","evidence":[{"kind":"version-step","provenance":"source","package":"Go:github.com/apptainer/apptainer","fromFixed":"1.4.5","toFixed":"1.5.1","daysApart":287}]}}],"package":"Go:github.com/apptainer/apptainer"}}
