Open Container Initiative
The issue is related to incorrect access control, leading to escalation of privileges. An attacker must be able to spawn two containers with custom volume-mount configurations and run custom images to exploit this. The vulnerability is related to libcontainer/rootfs linux.go. By crafting a malicious root filesystem, an attacker can trick runc into not correctly configuring the container's security labels and not correctly masking paths inside /proc, which contain potentially-sensitive information about the host. This could allow for direct attacks against the host.
