Machine-written summary

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

runc 1.1.13 and earlier, and 1.2.0-rc2 and earlier, can be tricked into creating empty files or directories at arbitrary locations on the host by sharing a volume between two containers and exploiting a race with os.MkdirAll. An attacker must be able to start containers with a custom volume configuration; existing files are not truncated. Upgrade to runc 1.1.14 or 1.2.0-rc3.
