      <title>CVE-2026-41579 — runc: Malicious image with /dev symlink can trigger limited host filesystem integrity violations</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-41579</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; opencontainers runc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. In versions prior to 1.3.6, 1.4.0-rc.1, 1.4.0-rc.12, 1.5.0-rc.1, and 1.5.0-rc.1, when setting up the container rootfs, setupPtmx and setupDevSymlinks call os.Remove and os.Symlink with a filepath.Join string which allow an image with /dev as a symlink to trick runc into deleting files called ptmx on the host or creating a hardcoded set of symlinks with specific names and targets in an arbitrary pre-existing host directory. This issue is not exploitable under Docker, because Docker creates a top-level read-only layer that masks any malicious /dev symlink present in the container image — unlike some other Linux container tooling, whose higher-level runtimes built on runc remain exposed to exploitation via a malicious image. This issue has been fixed in versions 1.3.6, 1.4.3 and 1.5.0.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
