## Overview

A flaw was found in Go. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container. This issue also allows attackers to access critical host files, bypassing the intended isolation between containers and the host system.

## Affected

- `common`
- `openshift_container_platform = 4.12`
- `openshift_container_platform = 4.13`
- `openshift_container_platform = 4.14`
- `openshift_container_platform = 4.15`
- `openshift_container_platform = 4.16`
- `openshift_container_platform = 4.17`
- `enterprise_linux = 8.0`
- `enterprise_linux = 9.0`
