Summary

containerd overlaybd through 1.0.18 contains an integer overflow in do_load_index (CWE-190) when it reads index_bytes from an overlaybd blob. An attacker who can supply an untrusted overlaybd blob from a registry can cause out-of-bounds heap access in a scenario with multiple overlaybd-backed containers. The flaw affects availability.
