"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-34
(runC: Privilege escalation)

    A vulnerability was discovered in runC that allows additional container
      processes via ‘runc exec’ to be ptraced by the pid 1 of the
      container.  This allows the main processes of the container, if running
      as root, to gain access to file-descriptors of these new processes.
  
Impact :

    An attacker, who is able to successfully escape the container or modify
      runC’s state before process initialization, could escalate privileges.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
