CVE-2023-27561: Opencontainers runc Incorrect Authorization vulnerability

March 3, 2023 (updated December 6, 2024)

runc 1.0.0-rc95 through 1.1.4 has Incorrect Access Control leading to Escalation of Privileges, related to libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. To exploit this, an attacker must be able to spawn two containers with custom volume-mount configurations, and be able to run custom images. NOTE: this issue exists because of a CVE-2019-19921 regression.
