Runtime testing required: ---

Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-01-11 11:39:44 UTC
From URL:
RunC allowed 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 during the initialization and can lead to container escapes
or modification of runC state before the process is fully placed inside the
container


Applied a patch that should fix the vulnerability in 1.0.0_rc2-r2.
