On Linux, if the target of Root.Chmod is replaced with a symlink while the chmod operation is in progress, Chmod can operate on the target of the symlink, even when the target lies outside the root. The Linux fchmodat syscall silently ignores the ATSYMLINKNOFOLLOW flag, which Root.Chmod uses to...

runc: container escape via 'masked path' abuse due to mount race conditions

A flaw was found in runc. This flaw exploits an issue with how masked paths are implementedin runc. When masking files, runc will bind-mount the container's /dev/null inode on top of the file. However, if an attacker can replace /dev/null with a symlink to some other procfs file, runc will instea...
