"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALINUX3-SA-2026:0003 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-52881:
    runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. In versions
    1.2.7, 1.3.2 and 1.4.0-rc.2, an attacker can trick runc into misdirecting writes to /proc to other procfs
    files through the use of a racing container with shared mounts (we have also verified this attack is
    possible to exploit using a standard Dockerfile with docker buildx build as that also permits triggering
    parallel execution of containers with custom shared mounts configured). This redirect could be through
    symbolic links in a tmpfs or theoretically other methods such as regular bind-mounts. While similar, the
    mitigation applied for the related CVE, CVE-2019-19921, was fairly limited and effectively only caused
    runc to verify that when LSM labels are written they are actually procfs files. This issue is fixed in
    versions 1.2.8, 1.3.3, and 1.4.0-rc.3.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
