Title: runC: Privilege escalation
Date: January 12, 2017
Bugs: #605378
ID: 201701-34
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
A vulnerability in runC could lead to privilege escalation.
Background
==========
RunC is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the
OCI specification.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 app-emulation/runc < 1.0.0_rc2-r2 >= 1.0.0_rc2-r2
Description
===========
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.
Resolution
==========
All runC users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot -v “>=app-emulation/runc-1.0.0_rc2-r2”
