Summary

BuildKit from 0 through 0.33.0 is affected. BuildKit can be tricked into performing file actions on special file inodes where regular files are expected, a flaw classified as CWE-441. A local attacker with no privileges needs active user interaction, and the impact can block operations or, on rootful workers, allow unintended access to host devices.
