GHSA-72x6-4j93-7w86: github.com/moby/buildkit (CVE-2026-61712)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
github.com/moby/buildkit	Go	<0.31.1	0.31.1

Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

BuildKit versions before 0.31.1 are vulnerable to a denial of service caused by unbounded group parsing. An attacker who can supply a maliciously crafted base image or build can exhaust memory when a container is created from it, causing the buildkitd process to be killed by the out-of-memory killer. Upgrade to BuildKit 0.31.1 or later; until then, use only trusted build sources.
