This is the long-awaited release of runc 1.2.0! The primary changes from rc3
are general improvements and fixes for minor regressions related to the
new /proc/self/exe cloning logic in runc 1.2, follow-on patches related
to CVE-2024-45310, as well as some other minor changes.

  • In order to alleviate the remaining concerns around the memory usage and
    (arguably somewhat unimportant, but measurable) performance overhead of
    memfds for cloning /proc/self/exe, we have added a new protection using
    overlayfs that is used if you have enough privileges and the running
    kernel supports it. It has effectively no performance nor memory overhead
    (compared to no cloning at all). (#4448)
  • The original fix for CVE-2024-45310 was intentionally very
    limited in scope to make it easier to review, however it also did not handle
    all possible os.MkdirAll cases and thus could lead to regressions. We have
    switched to the more complete implementation in the newer versions of
    github.com/cyphar/filepath-securejoin. (#4393, #4400, #4421, #4430)
  • In certain situations (a system with lots of mounts or racing mounts) we
    could accidentally end up leaking mounts from the container into the host.
    This has been fixed. (#4417)
  • The fallback logic for O_TMPFILE clones of /proc/self/exe had a minor
    bug that would cause us to miss non-noexec directories and thus fail to
    start containers on some systems. (#4444)
  • Sometimes the cloned /proc/self/exe file descriptor could be placed in a
    way that it would get clobbered by the Go runtime. We had a fix for this
    already but it turns out it could still break in rare circumstances, but it
    has now been fixed. (#4294, #4452)
  • It is not possible for runc kill to work properly in some specific
    configurations (such as rootless containers with no cgroups and a shared pid
    namespace). We now output a warning for such configurations. (#4398)
  • memfd-bind: update the documentation and make path handling with the systemd
    unit more idiomatic. (#4428)
  • We now use v0.16 of Cilium's eBPF library, including fixes that quite a few
    downstreams asked for. (#4397, #4396)
  • Some internal runc init synchronisation that was no longer necessary (due
    to the /proc/self/exe cloning move to Go) was removed. (#4441)

v1.1.15 -- "How, dear sir, did you cross the flood? By not stopping, friend, and by not straining I crossed the flood."

07 Oct 21:38
v1.1.15
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

This is the fifteenth patch release in the 1.1.z release branch of runc.
It fixes a few issues with seccomp, leaked mounts, and system performance.

  • The -ENOSYS seccomp stub is now always generated for the native
    architecture that runc is running on. This is needed to work around some
    arguably specification-incompliant behaviour from Docker on architectures
    such as ppc64le, where the allowed architecture list is set to null. This
    ensures that we always generate at least one -ENOSYS stub for the native
    architecture even with these weird configs. (#4391)
  • On a system with older kernel, reading /proc/self/mountinfo may skip some
    entries, as a consequence runc may not properly set mount propagation,
    causing container mounts leak onto the host mount namespace. (#2404, #4425)
  • In order to fix performance issues in the "lightweight" bindfd protection
    against [CVE-2019-5736], the temporary ro bind-mount of /proc/self/exe
    has been removed. runc now creates a binary copy in all cases. (#4392, #2532)

This is the second release candidate for the 1.2.0 branch of runc. It includes
all patches and bugfixes included in runc 1.1 patch releases (up to and
including 1.1.13). A fair few new features have been added, and some changes
have been made which may affect users. Please help us thoroughly test this
release candidate before we release 1.2.0.

Breaking

  • runc now requires a minimum of Go 1.20 to compile. If building with
    Go 1.22, make sure to use 1.22.4 or later version (#4233).

This is the thirteenth patch release in the 1.1.z release branch of runc. It
brings in Go 1.22.x compatibility and fixes a few issues, including an
occasional wrong nofile rlimit in runc exec, and a race between runc list and
runc delete.

NOTE that if using Go 1.22.x to build runc, make sure to use 1.22.4 or a later version.
For more details, see issue #4233.

  • Support go 1.22.4+. (#4313)
  • runc list: fix race with runc delete. (#4231)

runc 1.2.0-rc.1 -- "There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."

03 Apr 11:13
v1.2.0-rc.1
275e6d8
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

This is the first release candidate for the 1.2.0 branch of runc. It includes
all patches and bugfixes included in runc 1.1 patch releases (up to and
including 1.1.12). A fair few new features have been added, and some changes
have been made which may affect users. Please help us thoroughly test this
release before we release 1.2.0.

runc now requires a minimum of Go 1.20 to compile.

NOTE: runc currently will not work properly when compiled with Go 1.22 or
newer. This is due to some unfortunate glibc behaviour that Go 1.22
exacerbates in a way that results in containers not being able to start on
some systems. See this issue for more information.

Breaking

  • Several aspects of how mount options work has been adjusted in a way that
    could theoretically break users that have very strange mount option strings.
    This was necessary to fix glaring issues in how mount options were being
    treated. The key changes are:

    • Mount options on bind-mounts that clear a mount flag are now always
      applied. Previously, if a user requested a bind-mount with only clearing
      options (such as rw,exec,dev) the options would be ignored and the
      original bind-mount options would be set. Unfortunately this also means
      that container configurations which specified only clearing mount options
      will now actually get what they asked for, which could break existing
      containers (though it seems unlikely that a user who requested a specific
      mount option would consider it "broken" to get the mount options they
      asked foruser who requested a specific mount option would consider it
      "broken" to get the mount options they asked for). This also allows us to
      silently add locked mount flags the user did not explicitly request to be
      cleared
      in rootless mode, allowing for easier use of bind-mounts for
      rootless containers. (#3967)

    • Container configurations using bind-mounts with superblock mount flags
      (i.e. filesystem-specific mount flags, referred to as "data" in
      mount(2), as opposed to VFS generic mount flags like MS_NODEV) will
      now return an error. This is because superblock mount flags will also
      affect the host mount (as the superblock is shared when bind-mounting),
      which is obviously not acceptable. Previously, these flags were silently
      ignored so this change simply tells users that runc cannot fulfil their
      request rather than just ignoring it. (#3990)

    If any of these changes cause problems in real-world workloads, please open
    an issue
    so we
    can adjust the behaviour to avoid compatibility issues.

Added

  • runc has been updated to OCI runtime-spec 1.2.0, and supports all Linux
    features with a few minor exceptions. See
    docs/spec-conformance.md
    for more details.
  • runc now supports id-mapped mounts for bind-mounts (with no restrictions on
    the mapping used for each mount). Other mount types are not currently
    supported. This feature requires MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP kernel support (Linux
    5.12 or newer) as well as kernel support for the underlying filesystem used
    for the bind-mount. See mount_setattr(2) for a list of
    supported filesystems and other restrictions. (#3717, #3985, #3993)
  • Two new mechanisms for reducing the memory usage of our protections against
    CVE-2019-5736 have been introduced:
    • runc-dmz is a minimal binary (~8K) which acts as an additional execve
      stage, allowing us to only need to protect the smaller binary. It should
      be noted that there have been several compatibility issues reported with
      the usage of runc-dmz (namely related to capabilities and SELinux). As
      such, this mechanism is opt-in and can be enabled by running runc
      with the environment variable RUNC_DMZ=true (setting this environment
      variable in config.json will have no effect). This feature can be
      disabled at build time using the runc_nodmz build tag. (#3983, #3987)
    • contrib/memfd-bind is a helper daemon which will bind-mount a memfd copy
      of /usr/bin/runc on top of /usr/bin/runc. This entirely eliminates
      per-container copies of the binary, but requires care to ensure that
      upgrades to runc are handled properly, and requires a long-running daemon
      (unfortunately memfds cannot be bind-mounted directly and thus require a
      daemon to keep them alive). (#3987)
  • runc will now use cgroup.kill if available to kill all processes in a
    container (such as when doing runc kill). (#3135, #3825)
  • Add support for setting the umask for runc exec. (#3661)
  • libct/cg: support SCHED_IDLE for runc cgroupfs. (#3377)
  • checkpoint/restore: implement --manage-cgroups-mode=ignore. (#3546)
  • seccomp: refactor flags support; add flags to features, set SPEC_ALLOW by
    default. (#3588)
  • libct/cg/sd: use systemd v240+ new MAJOR:* syntax. (#3843)
  • Support CFS bandwidth burst for CPU. (#3749, #3145)
  • Support time namespaces. (#3876)
  • Reduce the runc binary size by ~11% by updating
    github.com/checkpoint-restore/go-criu. (#3652)
  • Add --pidfd-socket to runc run and runc exec to allow for management
    processes to receive a pidfd for the new process, allowing them to avoid pid
    reuse attacks. (#4045)

Deprecated

  • runc option --criu is now ignored (with a warning), and the option will
    be removed entirely in a future release. Users who need a non-standard
    criu binary should rely on the standard way of looking up binaries in
    $PATH. (#3316)
  • runc kill option -a is now deprecated. Previously, it had to be specified
    to kill a container (with SIGKILL) which does not have its own private PID
    namespace (so that runc would send SIGKILL to all processes). Now, this is
    done automatically. (#3864, #3825)
  • github.com/opencontainers/runc/libcontainer/user is now deprecated, please
    use github.com/moby/sys/user instead. It will be removed in a future
    release. (#4017)

Changed

  • When Intel RDT feature is not available, its initialization is skipped,
    resulting in slightly faster runc exec and runc run. (#3306)
  • runc features is no longer experimental. (#3861)
  • libcontainer users that create and kill containers from a daemon process
    (so that the container init is a child of that process) must now implement
    a proper child reaper in case a container does not have its own private PID
    namespace, as documented in container.Signal. (#3825)
  • Sum anon and file from memory.stat for cgroupv2 root usage,
    as the root does not have memory.current for cgroupv2.
    This aligns cgroupv2 root usage more closely with cgroupv1 reporting.
    Additionally, report root swap usage as sum of swap and memory usage,
    aligned with v1 and existing non-root v2 reporting. (#3933)
  • Add swapOnlyUsage in MemoryStats. This field reports swap-only usage.
    For cgroupv1, Usage and Failcnt are set by subtracting memory usage
    from memory+swap usage. For cgroupv2, Usage, Limit, and MaxUsage
    are set. (#4010)
  • libcontainer users that create and kill containers from a daemon process
    (so that the container init is a child of that process) must now implement
    a proper child reaper in case a container does not have its own private PID
    namespace, as documented in container.Signal. (#3825)
  • libcontainer: container.Signal no longer takes an all argument. Whether
    or not it is necessary to kill all processes in the container individually
    is now determined automatically. (#3825, #3885)
  • seccomp: enable seccomp binary tree optimization. (#3405)
  • runc run/runc exec: ignore SIGURG. (#3368)
  • Remove tun/tap from the default device allowlist. (#3468)
  • runc --root non-existent-dir list now reports an error for non-existent
    root directory. (#3374)

Fixed

  • In case the runc binary resides on tmpfs, runc init no longer re-execs
    itself twice. (#3342)
  • Our seccomp -ENOSYS stub now correctly handles multiplexed syscalls on
    s390 and s390x. This solves the issue where syscalls the host kernel did not
    support would return -EPERM despite the existence of the -ENOSYS stub
    code (this was due to how s390x does syscall multiplexing). (#3474)
  • Remove tun/tap from the default device rules. (#3468)
  • specconv: avoid mapping "acl" to MS_POSIXACL. (#3739)
  • libcontainer: fix private PID namespace detection when killing the
    container. (#3866, #3825)
  • systemd socket notification: fix race where runc exited before systemd
    properly handled the READY notification. (#3291, #3293)
  • The -ENOSYS seccomp stub is now always generated for the native
    architecture that runc is running on. This is needed to work around some
    arguably specification-incompliant behaviour from Docker on architectures
    such as ppc64le, where the allowed architecture list is set to null. This
    ensures that we always generate at least one -ENOSYS stub for the native
    architecture even with these weird configs. (#4219)

Removed

  • In order to fix performance issues in the "lightweight" bindfd protection
    against CVE-2019-5736, the temporary ro bind-mount of
    /proc/self/exe has been removed. runc now creates a binary copy in all
    cases. See the above notes about memfd-bind and runc-dmz as well as
    `contrib/cmd/memfd-bin...

runc 1.1.12 -- "Now you're thinking with Portals™!"

v1.1.12
51d5e94
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

This is the twelfth patch release in the 1.1.z release branch of runc.
It fixes a high-severity container breakout vulnerability involving
leaked file descriptors, and users are strongly encouraged to update as
soon as possible.

  • Fix CVE-2024-21626, a container breakout attack that took advantage of
    a file descriptor that was leaked internally within runc (but never
    leaked to the container process).

    In addition to fixing the leak, several strict hardening measures were
    added to ensure that future internal leaks could not be used to break
    out in this manner again.

    Based on our research, while no other container runtime had a similar
    leak, none had any of the hardening steps we've introduced (and some
    runtimes would not check for any file descriptors that a calling
    process may have leaked to them, allowing for container breakouts due
    to basic user error).

This is the tenth (and most likely final) patch release in the 1.1.z
release branch of runc. It mainly fixes a few issues in cgroups, and a
umask-related issue in tmpcopyup.

  • Add support for hugetlb.<pagesize>.rsvd limiting and accounting.
    Fixes the issue of postres failing when hugepage limits are set.
    (#3859, #4077)
  • Fixed permissions of a newly created directories to not depend on the value
    of umask in tmpcopyup feature implementation. (#3991, #4060)
  • libcontainer: cgroup v1 GetStats now ignores missing kmem.limit_in_bytes
    (fixes the compatibility with Linux kernel 6.1+). (#4028)
  • Fix a semi-arbitrary cgroup write bug when given a malicious hugetlb
    configuration. This issue is not a security issue because it requires a
    malicious config.json, which is outside of our threat model. (#4103)
