From 3291d66b98445bd7f7d02eac7f2bca2ac2c56942 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aleksa Sarai Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2019 23:40:17 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] rootfs: do not permit /proc mounts to non-directories mount(2) will blindly follow symlinks, which is a problem because it allows a malicious container to trick runc into mounting /proc to an entirely different location (and thus within the attacker's control for a rename-exchange attack). This is just a hotfix (to "stop the bleeding"), and the more complete fix would be finish libpathrs and port runc to it (to avoid these types of attacks entirely, and defend against a variety of other /proc-related attacks). It can be bypased by someone having "/" be a volume controlled by another container.
