<p>RunC is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the
|
||
OCI specification.

<description>
|
||
<p>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.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</description>
|
||
<impact type="normal">
|
||
<p>An attacker, who is able to successfully escape the container or modify
|
||
runC’s state before process initialization, could escalate privileges.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</impact>
|
||
<workaround>
|
||
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
|
||
</workaround>
|
||
<resolution>
|
||
<p>All runC users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

<code>
|

# emerge --sync
|

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/runc-1.0.0_rc2-r2"
