Docker Engine before 1.6.1 uses weak permissions for 1 /proc/asound, 2 /proc/timerstats, 3 /proc/latencystats, and 4 /proc/fs, which allows local users to modify the host, obtain sensitive information, and perform protocol downgrade attacks via a crafted image...

SUSE CVE-2016-8649

lxc-attach in LXC before 1.0.9 and 2.x before 2.0.6 allows an attacker inside of an unprivileged container to use an inherited file descriptor, of the host's /proc, to access the rest of the host's filesystem via the openat family of syscalls...

SUSE CVE-2019-18684

Sudo through 1.8.29 allows local users to escalate to root if they have write access to file descriptor 3 of the sudo process. This occurs because of a race condition between determining a uid, and the setresuid and openat system calls. The attacker can write "ALL ALL=ALL NOPASSWD:ALL" to...
