High (8.5). EPSS 10% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/opencontainers/runc 1.0.0-rc95.
runc before 1.0.0-rc95 allows a Container Filesystem Breakout via Directory Traversal. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must be able to create multiple containers with a fairly specific mount configuration. The problem occurs via a symlink-exchange attack that relies on a race condition.
