runc: CVE-2019-16884

Severity: Medium · CVSS 6.5CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N
Published: Sep 25, 2019, 6:15:00 PM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 4.41% · Oct 25, 2026

runc through 1.0.0-rc8, as used in Docker through 19.03.2-ce and other products, allows AppArmor restriction bypass because libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go incorrectly checks mount targets, and thus a malicious Docker image can mount over a /proc directory.
