runc: container escape with malicious config due to /dev/console mount and related races

A flaw was found in runc. CVE-2025-52565 is very similar in concept and application toCVE-2025-31133, except that it exploits a flaw in /dev/console bind-mounts. When creating the /dev/console bind-mount to /dev/pts/$n, if an attacker replaces /dev/pts/$n with a symlink then runc will bind-mount...
