runc container breakout - CVE-2019-5736ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:50662 | Date: (C)2019-02-12 (M)2024-06-03 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
runc through 1.0-rc6, as used in Docker before 18.09.2 and other products, allows attackers to overwrite the host runc binary (and consequently obtain host root access) by leveraging the ability to execute a command as root within one of these types of containers: (1) a new container with an attacker-controlled image, or (2) an existing container, to which the attacker previously had write access, that can be attached with docker exec. This occurs because of file-descriptor mishandling, related to /proc/self/exe.
