RunC is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the + OCI specification. +

+
+ +

A vulnerability was discovered in runC that allows additional container + processes via ‘runc exec’ to be ptraced by the pid 1 of the + container. This allows the main processes of the container, if running + as root, to gain access to file-descriptors of these new processes. +

+
+ +

An attacker, who is able to successfully escape the container or modify + runC’s state before process initialization, could escalate privileges. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All runC users should upgrade to the latest version:
