Security update for nvidia-container-toolkit

This update for nvidia-container-toolkit fixes the following issues:

  • Update to version 1.18.0:

    • This is a major release and includes the following high-level changes:
      • The default mode of the NVIDIA Container Runtime has been updated to make use of a just-in-time-generated CDI specification instead of defaulting to the legacy mode.
      • Added a systemd unit to generate CDI specifications for available devices automatically. This allows native CDI support in container engines such as Docker and Podman to be used without additional steps.
  • Security issues fixed:

    • CVE-2024-0133: Fixed data tampering in host file system via specially crafted container image (bsc#1231032)
    • CVE-2024-0132: Fixed time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in default configuration via specifically crafted container image (bsc#1231033)
    • CVE-2024-0134: Fixed specially-crafted container image can lead to the creation of unauthorized files on the host (bsc#1232855)
    • CVE-2024-0135: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236496)
    • CVE-2024-0136: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236497)
    • CVE-2024-0137: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236498)
    • CVE-2025-23359: Fixed TOCTOU Vulnerability in NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1237085)
    • CVE-2025-23267: Fixed link following can lead to container escape (bsc#1246614)
    • CVE-2025-23266: Fixed hook initialization might lead to escalation of privileges (bsc#1246860)
