CVE-2025-31133 – runc container escape via “masked path” abuse due to mount race conditions

CVE ID : CVE-2025-31133

Published : Nov. 6, 2025, 6:47 p.m. | 42 minutes ago

Description : runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. In versions 1.2.7 and below, 1.3.0-rc.1 through 1.3.1, 1.4.0-rc.1 and 1.4.0-rc.2 files, runc would not perform sufficient verification that the source of the bind-mount (i.e., the container’s /dev/null) was actually a real /dev/null inode when using the container’s /dev/null to mask. This exposes two methods of attack: an arbitrary mount gadget, leading to host information disclosure, host denial of service, container escape, or a bypassing of maskedPaths. This issue is fixed in versions 1.2.8, 1.3.3 and 1.4.0-rc.3.

Severity: 0.0 | NA
