Leaky Vessels: runC and BuildKit container escape vulnerabilities - everything you need to know

Two container escape vulnerabilities, tracked as 'Leaky Vessels', affect runC and BuildKit. Organizations using these container technologies need to apply patches to prevent attackers from escaping container boundaries and accessing host systems. The vulnerabilities enable privileged execution outside of container isolation.

Why it matters: Development and operations teams running runC or BuildKit containers face immediate risk of container escape attacks that could compromise host infrastructure; patching and detection of exploitation attempts should be prioritized immediately.
