This is the second patch release of the runc 1.1 release branch. It
fixes CVE-2022-29162, a minor security issue (which appears to not be
exploitable) related to process capabilities.
This is a similar bug to the ones found and fixed in Docker and
containerd recently (CVE-2022-24769).
- A bug was found in runc where runc exec --cap executed processes with
non-empty inheritable Linux process capabilities, creating an atypical Linux
environment. For more information, see GHSA-f3fp-gc8g-vw66 and
CVE-2022-29162. runc spec
no longer sets any inheritable capabilities in the created
example OCI spec (config.json
) file.
