Debian Linux Security Advisory 5615-1 - It was discovered that runc, a command line client for running applications packaged according to the Open Container Format (OCF), was susceptible to multiple container break-outs due to an internal file descriptor leak.
runc versions 1.1.11 and below, as used by containerization technologies such as Docker engine and Kubernetes, are vulnerable to an arbitrary file write vulnerability. Due to a file descriptor leak it is possible to mount the host file system with the permissions of runc (typically root). Successfully tested on Ubuntu 22.04 with runc 1.1.7-0ubuntu1~22.04.1 using Docker build.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6619-1 - Rory McNamara discovered that runC did not properly manage internal file descriptor while managing containers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information or bypass container restrictions.

The vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2024-21626, CVE-2024-23651, CVE-2024-23652, and CVE-2024-23653, have been collectively dubbed Leaky Vessels by cybersecurity vendor Snyk. "These container
