GHSA-259w-8hf6-59c2

### Impact When importing an OCI image, there was no limit on the number of bytes read for certain files. A maliciously crafted image with a large file where a limit was not applied could cause a denial of service.

### Patches

This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.18 and 1.5.18. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue.

### Workarounds

Ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.
