Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in Singularity could result in remote code execution.

Background
==========

Singularity is the container platform for performance sensitive
workloads.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  sys-cluster/singularity      < 3.7.4                    >= 3.7.4 

Description
===========

Singularity always uses the default remote endpoint,
'cloud.syslabs.io', for action commands using the 'library://' URI
rather than the configured remote endpoint.

Impact
======

An attacker that that can push a malicious container to the default
remote endpoint could execute code on hosts that fetch the container.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Singularity users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-cluster/singularity-3.7.4"
