Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Versions of the Go package github.com/opencontainers/runc before 1.2.8, from 1.3.0-rc.1 before 1.3.3, and from 1.4.0-rc.1 before 1.4.0-rc.3 are affected. An attacker who can start containers with shared mounts, such as through a parallel build, can race the runtime's handling of /dev/null so that a bind mount targets an arbitrary host path, which can lead to host denial of service or container escape, or let them bypass maskedPaths. Upgrade to runc 1.2.8, 1.3.3, 1.4.0-rc.3 or later.
