"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1766050574 advisory.
- 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. (CVE-2025-52881)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
