runc v1.4.0 -- "路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索!"

27 Nov 23:35
v1.4.0
8bd78a9

Choose a tag to compare

This is the first release of the 1.4.z release branch of runc. It
contains a few fixes for issues found in 1.4.0-rc.3. This version of
runc supports runtime-spec v1.3 (see docs/spec-conformance.md for the
few features that are still missing).

This is the second release of runc following our new release and support
policy (see RELEASES.md for more details). This means that, as of this
release:

  • The runc 1.2.z release branch will now only receive high severity
    CVE fixes, and will no longer be supported in less than 6 months (end
    of April 2026).
  • The runc 1.3.z release branch will now only receive security and
    "significant" bugfixes.
  • Users are encouraged to plan migrating to runc 1.4.0 as soon as
    possible.
  • Despite this release being delayed by a month, users should still
    expect a runc 1.5.0 release in late April 2026.

Deprecated

  • Deprecate cgroup v1. (#4956)
  • Deprecate CleanPath, StripRoot, WithProcfd, and WithProcfdFile from
    libcontainer/utils. (#4985)

Breaking

  • The handling of pids.limit has been updated to match the newer guidance
    from the OCI runtime specification. In particular, now a maximum limit value
    of 0 will be treated as an actual limit (due to limitations with systemd,
    it will be treated the same as a limit value of 1). We only expect users
    that explicitly set pids.limit to 0 will see a behaviour change.
    (opencontainers/cgroups#48, #4949)

Fixed

  • cgroups: provide iocost statistics for cgroupv2. (opencontainers/cgroups#43)
  • cgroups: retry DBus connection when it fails with EAGAIN.
    (opencontainers/cgroups#45)
  • cgroups: improve cpuacct.usage_all resilience when parsing data from
    patched kernels (such as the Tencent kernels). (opencontainers/cgroups#46,
    opencontainers/cgroups#50)
  • libct: close child fds on prepareCgroupFD error. (#4936)
  • libct: fix mips compilation. (#4962, #4967)
  • When configuring a tmpfs mount, only set the mode= argument if the target
    path already existed. This fixes a regression introduced in our
    CVE-2025-52881 mitigation patches. (#4971, #4976)
  • Fix various file descriptor leaks and add additional tests to detect them as
    comprehensively as possible. (#5007, #5021, #5034)
  • The "hallucination" helpers added as part of the CVE-2025-52881
    mitigation have been made more generic and now apply to all of our pathrs
    helper functions, which should ensure we will not regress dangling symlink
    users. (#4985)

Changed

  • libct: switch to (*CPUSet).Fill. (#4927)
  • docs/spec-conformance.md: update for spec v1.3.0. (#4948)

runc v1.4.0-rc.3 -- "その日、人類は思い出した。"

05 Nov 09:20
v1.4.0-rc.3
6c7d8ad

Choose a tag to compare

Note

Some vendors were given patches corresponding to this release in
advance. This public release includes two extra patches to fix
regressions discovered very late during the embargo period and were
thus not included in the pre-release versions. Please update to this
version.

Security

This release includes fixes for the following high-severity security issues:

  • CVE-2025-31133 exploits an issue with how masked paths are implemented in
    runc. When masking files, runc will bind-mount the container's /dev/null
    inode on top of the file. However, if an attacker can replace /dev/null
    with a symlink to some other procfs file, runc will instead bind-mount the
    symlink target read-write. This issue affected all known runc versions.

  • CVE-2025-52565 is very similar in concept and application to
    CVE-2025-31133, except that it exploits a flaw in /dev/console
    bind-mounts. When creating the /dev/console bind-mount (to /dev/pts/$n),
    if an attacker replaces /dev/pts/$n with a symlink then runc will
    bind-mount the symlink target over /dev/console. This issue affected all
    versions of runc >= 1.0.0-rc3.

  • CVE-2025-52881 is a more sophisticated variant of CVE-2019-19921,
    which was a flaw that allowed an attacker to trick runc into writing the LSM
    process labels for a container process into a dummy tmpfs file and thus not
    apply the correct LSM labels to the container process. The mitigation we
    applied for CVE-2019-19921 was fairly limited and effectively only caused
    runc to verify that when we write LSM labels that those labels are actual
    procfs files. This issue affects all known runc versions.

Fixed

  • Switched to (*CPUSet).Fill rather than our hacky optimisation when
    resetting the CPU affinity of runc. (#4926, #4927)
  • Correctly close child fds during (*setns).start if an error occurs.
    (#4930, #4936)

Note

Some vendors were given a pre-release version of this release.
This public release includes two extra patches to fix regressions
discovered very late during the embargo period and were thus not
included in the pre-release versions. Please update to this version.

This release contains fixes for three high-severity security
vulnerabilities in runc (CVE-2025-31133, CVE-2025-52565, and
CVE-2025-52881). All three vulnerabilities ultimately allow (through
different methods) for full container breakouts by bypassing runc's
restrictions for writing to arbitrary /proc files.

Security

  • CVE-2025-31133 exploits an issue with how masked paths are implemented in
    runc. When masking files, runc will bind-mount the container's /dev/null
    inode on top of the file. However, if an attacker can replace /dev/null

runc v1.4.0-rc.2 -- "私の役目は信じるかどうかではない。行うかどうかだ。"

09 Oct 07:41
v1.4.0-rc.2
8aeb2a4

Choose a tag to compare

This is the second release candidate of the runc 1.4.0 release. It
includes a few minor features that did not make the cut-off for
v1.4.0-rc.1 (namely CLONE_INTO_CGROUP support and some new Intel RDT
features).

Users are strongly encouraged to test our release candidates over the
next month so we can fix issues before the general release. You should
expect runc 1.4.0 to be released at the end of October 2025 (at which
point, runc 1.2.z will only receive high-severity security fixes for 6
months and users are thus very strongly encouraged to migrate to a newer
version).

libcontainer API

  • The deprecated libcontainer/userns package has been removed; use
    github.com/moby/sys/userns instead. (#4910, #4911)

Added

  • Allow setting user.* sysctls for user-namespaced containers, as they are
    namespaced and thus safe to configure. (#4889, #4892)
  • Add support for using clone3(2)'s CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag when
    configuring the runc exec process. This also included some internal
    changes to how we add processes to containers. (#4822, #4812, #4920)
  • Add support for configuring the NUMA pmemory policy for a container with
    set_mempolicy(2). (opencontainers/runtime-spec#1282, #4726, #4915)
  • Add support for intelRdt.schemata to allow for configuration of all
    schemas in resctrl. (opencontainers/runtime-spec#1230, #4830, #4915)
  • Add support for intelRdt.enableMonitoring to allow for per-container
    resctrl monitoring. This replaces the old intelRdt.enableCMT and
    intelRdt.enableMBM options which were never implemented by runc and have
    been removed from the runtime-spec. (opencontainers/runtime-spec#1287,
    #4832, #4921)

Fixed

  • Configure personality(2) before applying seccomp profiles. (#4900, #4903)
  • Fixed integration test failure on ppc64, caused by 64K page size so the
    kernel was rounding memory limit to 64K. (#4841, #4895, #4893)
  • seccompagent: fix fd close loop to prevent closing stdio in the error path.

This is the second patch release of the 1.3.z release series of runc.
It primarily includes some minor fixes for issues found in 1.3.1.

Changed:

  • The conversion from cgroup v1 CPU shares to cgroup v2 CPU weight is

Fixed:

  • runc state: fix occasional "cgroup.freeze: no such device" error.
    (#4798, #4808, #4897)
  • Fixed integration test failure on ppc64, caused by 64K page size so the

runc v1.4.0-rc.1 -- "おめェもボスになったんだろぉ?"

05 Sep 13:51
v1.4.0-rc.1
b2ec7f9

Choose a tag to compare

This is the first release candidate of the runc 1.4.0 release. It
contains a couple of new features, but is mostly made up of some minor
bug fixes and some follow-ups for features deprecated in runc 1.3.0.

Users are strongly encouraged to test our release candidates over the
next two months so we can fix issues before the general release. You
should expect runc 1.4.0 to be released at the end of October 2025 (at
which point, runc 1.2.z will only receive high-severity security fixes
for 6 months and users are thus very strongly encouraged to migrate to a
newer version).

This version of runc requires Go 1.24 to build.

libcontainer API

  • The deprecated libcontainer/user package has been removed; use
    github.com/moby/sys/user instead. (#3999, #4617)
  • libcontainer/apparmor variables containing public functions have been
    switched to wrapper functions. (#4725)

Breaking

  • runc update no longer allows --l3-cache-schema or --mem-bw-schema if
    linux.intelRdt was not present in the container’s original config.json.

    Without linux.intelRdt no CLOS (resctrl group) is created at container
    creation, so it is not possible to apply the updated options with runc update.

    Previously, this scenario did not work as expected. The runc update would
    create a new CLOS but fail to apply the schema, move only the init process
    (omitting children) to the new group, and leave the CLOS orphaned after
    container exit. (#4827)

  • The deprecated --criu flag has been removed entirely, instead the criu
    binary in $PATH will be used. (#4722)

Added

  • runc now supports the linux.netDevices field to allow for devices to be
    moved into container network namespaces seamlessly. (#4538)
  • runc update now supports per-device weight and iops cgroup limits. (#4775)
  • intel rdt: allow explicit assignment to root CLOS. (#4854)

Fixed

  • Container processes will no longer inherit the CPU affinity of runc by
    default. Instead, the default CPU affinity of container processes will be
    the largest set of CPUs permitted by the container's cpuset cgroup and any
    other system restrictions (such as isolated CPUs). (#4041, #4815, #4858)
  • Use chown(uid, -1) when configuring the console inode, to avoid issues
    with unmapped GIDs. (#4679)
  • Add logging for the cases where failed keyring operations are ignored during
    setup. (#4676)
  • Optimise runc exec by avoiding calling into SELinux's Set.*Label when
    processLabel is not set. (#4354)
  • Fix mips64 builds for remap-rootfs. (#4723)
  • Setting linux.rootfsPropagation to shared or unbindable now functions
    properly. (#1755, #1815, #4724)
  • runc delete and runc stop can now correctly handle cases where runc
    create was killed during setup. Previously it was possible for the
    container to be in such a state that neither runc stop nor runc
    delete would be unable to kill or delete the container. (#4534,
    #4645, #4757)
  • Close seccomp agent connection to prevent resource leaks. (#4796)
  • runc update will no longer clear intelRdt state information. (#4828)
  • runc will now error out earlier if intelRdt is not enabled. (#4829)
  • Improve filesystem operations within intelRdt manager. (#4840, #4831)
  • Resolve a certain race between runc create and runc delete that would
    previously result in spurious errors. (#4735)
  • CI: skip bpf tests on misbehaving udev systems. (#4825)

Changed

  • Use Go's built-in pidfd_send_signal(2) support when available. (#4666)
  • Make state.json 25% smaller. (#4685)
  • Migrate to Go 1.22+ features. (#4687, #4703)
  • Provide private wrappers around common syscalls to make -EINTR handling
    less cumbersome for the rest of runc. (#4697)
  • Ignore the dmem controller in our cgroup tests, as systemd does not
    yet support it. (#4806)
  • /proc/net/dev is no longer included in the permitted procfs overmount
    list. Its inclusion was almost certainly an error, and because
    /proc/net is a symlink to /proc/self/net, overmounting this was
    almost certainly never useful (and will be blocked by future kernel
    versions). (#4817)
  • Simplify the prepareCriuRestoreMounts logic for checkpoint-restore.
    (#4765)
  • The conversion from cgroup v1 CPU shares to cgroup v2 CPU weight is
    improved to better fit default v1 and v2 values. (#4772, #4785)
  • Bump minimum Go version to 1.24. (#4851)
  • CI: migrate virtualised Fedora tests from Vagrant + Cirrus to Lima + GHA. We
    still use Cirrus for the AlmaLinux tests, since they can be run without
    virtualisation. (#4664)
  • CI: install fewer dependencies (#4671), bump shellcheck and bats versions
    (#4670).
  • CI: remove toolchain from go.mod and add a CI check to make sure it's
    never added accidentally. (#4717, #4721)
  • CI: do not allow exclude or replace directives in go.mod, to make sure
    that go install doesn't get accidentally broken. (#4750)
  • CI: fix exclusion rules and allow us to run jobs manually. (#4760)
  • CI: Switch to GitHub-hosted ARM runners. Thanks again to @alexellis
    for supporting runc's ARM CI up until now. (#4844, #4856)

This is the first patch release of the 1.3.z release series of runc. It
primarily includes some minor fixes for issues found in 1.3.0.

Fixed

  • Container processes will no longer inherit the CPU affinity of runc by
    default. Instead, the default CPU affinity of container processes will be
    the largest set of CPUs permitted by the container's cpuset cgroup and any
    other system restrictions (such as isolated CPUs). (#4041, #4815, #4858)
  • Setting linux.rootfsPropagation to shared or unbindable now functions
    properly. (#1755, #1815, #4724, #4789)
  • Close seccomp agent connection to prevent resource leaks. (#4796, #4799)
  • runc delete and runc stop can now correctly handle cases where
    runc create was killed during setup. Previously it was possible for the
    container to be in such a state that neither runc stop nor runc delete
    would be unable to kill or delete the container. (#4534, #4645, #4757,
    #4788)
  • runc update will no longer clear intelRdt state information. (#4828,
    #4833)
  • CI: Fix exclusion rules and allow us to run jobs manually. (#4760, #4763)

Changed

  • Improvements to the deprecation warnings as part of the
    github.com/opencontainers/cgroups split. (#4784, #4788)
  • Disable the dmem controller in our cgroup tests, as systemd does not yet
    support it. (#4806, #4811)
  • /proc/net/dev is no longer included in the permitted procfs overmount
    list. Its inclusion was almost certainly an error, and because /proc/net
    is a symlink to /proc/self/net, overmounting this was almost certainly
    never useful (and will be blocked by future kernel versions). (#4817, #4820)
  • Simplify the prepareCriuRestoreMounts logic for checkpoint-restore.
    (#4765, #4871)
  • CI: Bump golangci-lint to v2.1. (#4747, #4754)
  • CI: Switch to GitHub-hosted ARM runners. Thanks again to @alexellis for
    supporting runc's ARM CI up until now. (#4844, #4856, #4867)

Static Linking Notices

The runc binary distributed with this release are statically linked with
the following GNU LGPL-2.1 licensed libraries, with runc acting
as a "work that uses the Library":

The versions of these libraries were not modified from their upstream versions,
but in order to comply with the LGPL-2.1 (§6(a)), we have attached the
complete source code for those libraries which (when combined with the attached
runc source code) may be used to exercise your rights under the LGPL-2.1.
