GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2026-61801

A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability exists in github.com/moby/sys/user before v0.4.1 when parsing specially crafted user or group database files. An attacker able to supply a malicious /etc/passwd or /etc/group-style file may cause excessive memory consumption, potentially resulting in process termination due to Out Of Memory (OOM) conditions.

This issue is related to containerd [CVE-2026-47262] / GHSA-jpcc-p29g-p8mq, which describes one practical exploitation path through processing untrusted container image content. Applications using github.com/moby/sys/user to parse untrusted user or group database files may be similarly affected.

Impact

github.com/moby/sys/user versions before v0.4.1 do not place sufficient limits on entries while parsing user and group database files. A specially crafted file may cause excessive memory consumption, potentially leading to process termination due to Out Of Memory (OOM) conditions.

Applications that use github.com/moby/sys/user to parse user-supplied or otherwise untrusted /etc/passwd or /etc/group files may be affected. The severity depends on whether an attacker can influence the contents of files being parsed.

Patches

This issue is fixed in github.com/moby/sys/user v0.4.1. Users should upgrade to v0.4.1 or later.

Workarounds

Avoid parsing attacker-controlled /etc/passwd or /etc/group-style files with affected versions of github.com/moby/sys/user.

Applications that must process untrusted user or group database files should validate and limit accepted input before parsing. Upgrading to v0.4.1 or later is the recommended remediation.
