    Hi,

    The following vulnerability was published for containerd.

    CVE-2024-40635[0]:
    | containerd is an open-source container runtime. A bug was found in
    | containerd prior to versions 1.6.38, 1.7.27, and 2.0.4 where
    | containers launched with a User set as a `UID:GID` larger than the
    | maximum 32-bit signed integer can cause an overflow condition where
    | the container ultimately runs as root (UID 0). This could cause
    | unexpected behavior for environments that require containers to run
    | as a non-root user. This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.38,
    | 1.7.27, and 2.04. As a workaround, ensure that only trusted images
    | are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import
    | images.


    If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
    CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
