• CVE-2024-0132: 40.84% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 98.66 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

NVIDIA Container Toolkit 1.16.1 or earlier contains a Time-of-check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability when used with default configuration where a specifically crafted container image may gain access to the host file system. This does not impact use cases where CDI is used. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-0132

Advisory: NVIDIA Container Toolkit contains a Time-of-check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2024-0132, GHSA-mjjw-553x-87pq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-0132 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:05 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit 1.16.2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit: affected < 1.16.2; fixed in 1.16.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mjjw-553x-87pq (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-mjjw-553x-87pq lists affected ranges: Go github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit >=0 <1.16.2)
