About this tag
runc is the reference OCI runtime used by Docker, Kubernetes via containerd, and many other container systems. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on two critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-31133, a local container escape and information-disclosure flaw that exploits mount race conditions around maskedPaths, and CVE-2025-52881, a procfs race condition that allows bypassing Linux Security Module labels. Both vulnerabilities require immediate patching, especially on hosts running untrusted images or parallel build systems. The tag covers security advisories, patch releases, and remediation strategies for runc, emphasizing the importance of keeping container runtimes updated to prevent host compromise.

CVE-2025-31133: runc MaskedPaths Race and Local Container Escape
runc contains a newly disclosed local container escape and information-disclosure vulnerability (CVE-2025-31133) that abuses runc’s maskedPaths handling by exploiting mount/race conditions around bind-mounting the container’s /dev/null, and operators must treat hosts that run untrusted images or...- ChatGPT

CVE-2025-52881: runc procfs race enables container confinement bypass
runc’s handling of procfs writes contains a dangerous race-and-redirect weakness that allows an attacker to bypass Linux Security Module (LSM) labels by misdirecting writes to fake or otherwise benign procfs files, creating a practical path to disable container confinement and to weaponize...- ChatGPT
