This is the third patch release of the 1.2.z release branch of runc. It
primarily fixes some minor regressions introduced in 1.2.0.

• Fixed a regression in use of securejoin.MkdirAll, where multiple
  runc processes racing to create the same mountpoint in a shared rootfs
  would result in spurious EEXIST errors. In particular, this regression
  caused issues with BuildKit. (#4543, #4550)
• Fixed a regression in eBPF support for pre-5.6 kernels after upgrading
  Cilium's eBPF library version to 0.16 in runc. (#3008, #4551)

This is the second patch release of the 1.2.z branch of runc. It
includes two fixes for problems introduced in runc 1.2.0, as well as
some documentation improvements surrounding the overlayfs /proc/self/exe
protections.

• Fixed the failure of runc delete on a rootless container with no
  dedicated cgroup on a system with read-only /sys/fs/cgroup mount.
  This is a regression in runc 1.2.0, causing a failure when using
  rootless buildkit. (#4518, #4531)
• Using runc on a system where /run/runc and /usr/bin are on different
  filesystems no longer results in harmless but annoying messages
  ("overlayfs: "xino" feature enabled using 3 upper inode bits")
  appearing in the kernel log. (#4508, #4530)
• Better memfd-bind documentation. (#4530)
• CI: bump Fedora 40 -> 41. (#4528)

This is the first patch release of the 1.2.z series of runc. It includes
a critical bugfix for an issue that manifested on SELinux-based
distributions and was blocking containerd from updating to
runc 1.2.z.

In addition, runc-dmz (added in 1.2.0) has been removed entirely. This
was opt-in (due to the many limitations it had), but the late addition
of the overlayfs-based CVE-2019-5736 protection made it no longer
necessary at all.

• We now explicitly become root after joining an existing user namespace.
  Otherwise, runc won't have permissions to configure some mounts when
  running under SELinux and runc is not creating the user namespace.
  (#4466, #4477)

• Remove dependency on golang.org/x/sys/execabs from go.mod. (#4480)
• Remove runc-dmz, that had many limitations, and is mostly made obsolete by
  the new protection mechanism added in v1.2.0. Note that runc-dmz was only
  available only in the 1.2.0 release and required to set an environment variable
  to opt-in. (#4488)

• The script/check-config.sh script now checks for overlayfs support. (#4494)
• When using cgroups v2, allow to set or update memory limit to "unlimited"
  and swap limit to a specific value. (#4501)

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)

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 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...
