Debian Security Advisory 5615-1

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 1.1.11 File Descriptor Leak Privilege Escalation

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.

GHSA-xr7r-f8xq-vfvv: runc vulnerable to container breakout through process.cwd trickery and leaked fds

### Impact In runc 1.1.11 and earlier, due to an internal file descriptor leak, an attacker could cause a newly-spawned container process (from `runc exec`) to have a working directory in the host filesystem namespace, allowing for a container escape by giving access to the host filesystem ("attack 2"). The same attack could be used by a malicious image to allow a container process to gain access to the host filesystem through `runc run` ("attack 1"). Variants of attacks 1 and 2 could be also be used to overwrite semi-arbitrary host binaries, allowing for complete container escapes ("attack 3a" and "attack 3b"). Strictly speaking, while attack 3a is the most severe from a CVSS perspective, attacks 2 and 3b are arguably more dangerous in practice because they allow for a breakout from inside a container as opposed to requiring a user execute a malicious image. The reason attacks 1 and 3a are scored higher is because being able to socially engineer users is treated as a given for UI:R ...

RunC Flaws Enable Container Escapes, Granting Attackers Host Access

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in the runC command line tool that could be exploited by threat actors to escape the bounds of the container and stage follow-on attacks. 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
