Summary

Youki: If /proc and /sys in the rootfs are symbolic links, they can potentially be exploited to gain access to the host root filesystem.

Details

Summary

If /proc and /sys in the rootfs are symbolic links, they can potentially be exploited to gain access to the host root filesystem.

Details

For security reasons, container creation should be prohibited if /proc or /sys in the rootfs is a symbolic link. I verified this behavior with youki. When /proc or /sys is a symbolic link, runc fails to create the container, whereas youki successfully creates it.

This is the fix related to this issue in runc. * https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/3756 * https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/3773 * https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/blob/main/libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go#L590 * https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/blob/main/tests/integration/mask.bats#L60
