Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-17 14:42:43 UTC 
A flaw was found in runc. This flaw exploits an issue with how masked paths are implementedin runc. When masking files, runc will bind-mount the container's /dev/null inode on top of the file. However, if an attacker can replace /dev/null with a symlink to some other procfs file, runc will instead bind-mount the symlink target read-write.
