Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Go package github.com/opencontainers/runc is vulnerable before version 1.0.0-rc9.0.20200122160610-2fc03cc11c77, and the fixed version is the same as that value. An attacker who controls a malicious root filesystem and can create containers with custom mounts sharing a volume with another running container could cause runc to misconfigure security labels and fail to mask sensitive /proc paths. Upgrade runc to the fixed version; the advisory notes the fix is a hot-fix with known workarounds, so review which users can configure container mounts.
