<p>RunC is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the
OCI specification.
</p>
</background>
<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
runCs 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 "&gt;=app-emulation/runc-1.0.0_rc2-r2"
</code>
