Summary
BuildKit from 0.31.0 before 0.33.1 is affected when proxy networking with CA injection is enabled. A race condition (CWE-367) lets a build step modify its CA bundle before cleanup runs. The modification may cause cleanup to block, operate outside the build rootfs, or fail without failing the build. A local attacker with low privileges can trigger this, and the flaw has no known exploitation.
