opencontainers/runc v1.2.1

runc v1.2.1 -- "No existe una escuela que enseñe a vivir."

on GitHub

This is the first patch release of the 1.2.z series of runc. It includes
a critical bugfix for an issue that manifested on SELinux-based
distributions distributions and was blocking containerd from updating to
runc 1.2.z.

In addition, runc-dmz (added in 1.2.0) has been removed entirely. This
was opt-out (due to the many limitations it had), but the late addition
of the overlayfs-based CVE-2019-5736 protection made it no longer
necessary at all.

• Became root after joining an existing user namespace. Otherwise, runc
  won't have permissions to configure some mounts when running under
  SELinux and runc is not creating the user namespace. (#4466, #4477)

• Remove dependency on golang.org/x/sys/execabs from go.mod. (#4480)
• Remove runc-dmz, that had many limitations, and is mostly made obsolete by
  the new protection mechanism added in v1.2.0. Note that runc-dmz was only
  available only in the 1.2.0 release and required to set an environment variable
  to opt-in. (#4488)

• The script/check-config.sh script now checks for overlayfs support. (#4494)
• When using cgroups v2, allow to set or update memory limit to "unlimited"
  and swap limit to a specific value. (#4501)
