Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2021-30465  

runc 1.0.0-rc94 and earlier are vulnerable to a symlink exchange attack whereby an attacker can request a seemingly-innocuous container configuration that actually results in the host filesystem being bind-mounted into the container (allowing for a container escape). An attacker must have the ability to start containers using some kind of custom volume configuration, and while recommended container hardening mechanisms such as LSMs (AppArmor/SELinux) and user namespaces will restrict the amount of damage an attacker could do, they do not block this attack outright. runc 1.0.0-rc95 contains a fix for this issue.
