Package : runc Version : 1.0.0~rc6+dfsg1-3+deb10u3 CVE ID : CVE-2021-43784 CVE-2024-21626 Debian Bug :

runc is a command line client for running applications packaged according to the Open Container Format (OCF) and is a compliant implementation of the Open Container Project specification.

CVE-2021-43784

A flaw has been detected that may lead to a possible length field overflow, allowing user-controlled data to be parsed as control characters.

CVE-2024-21626

A flaw has been detected which allows several container breakouts due to internally leaked file descriptors. The patch includes fixes and hardening measurements against these types of issues/attacks.
