containerd allows host filesystem access on pull
### Impact

A time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability was found in containerd v2.1.0. While unpacking an image during an image pull, specially crafted container images could arbitrarily modify the host file system. 

### Patches
This bug has been fixed in the following containerd versions:

* 2.1.1

The only affected version of containerd is 2.1.0.  Other versions of containerd are not affected.

Users should update to this version to resolve the issue.

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