GHSA-m6hq-p25p-ffr2

### Impact

A bug was found in containerd's CRI Attach implementation where a user can exhaust memory on the host due to goroutine leaks.

Repetitive calls of CRI Attach (e.g., [`kubectl attach`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_attach/)) could increase the memory usage of containerd.

### Patches

This bug has been fixed in the following containerd versions:

* 2.2.0 * 2.1.5 * 2.0.7 * 1.7.29

Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue.

### Workarounds

Set up an admission controller to control accesses to `pods/attach` resources. e.g., [Validating Admission Policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/validating-admission-policy/).
