  • CVSS V2 rated as High - 6 severity.
    • Solution
    This has been patched in runc 1.0.0-rc95, and users should upgrade as soon as
    possible. The patch itself can be found [here](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/commit/0ca91f44f1664da834bc61115a849b56d22f595f).Workaround:
    There are no known workarounds for this issue.

    However, users who enforce running containers with more confined security
    profiles (such as reduced capabilities, not running code as root in the
    container, user namespaces, AppArmor/SELinux, and seccomp) will restrict what
    an attacker can do in the case of a container breakout -- we recommend users
    make use of strict security profiles if possible (most notably user namespaces
    -- which can massively restrict the impact a container breakout can have on the
    host system).
