Google: app-containers/runc: security update to 18244.521.11

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 451126

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. Versions
 1.0.0-rc3 through 1.2.7, 1.3.0-rc.1 through 1.3.2, and 1.4.0-rc.1 through 1.4.0-rc.2, due to insufficient
 checks when bind-mounting `/dev/pts/$n` to `/dev/console` inside the container, an attacker can trick runc
 into bind-mounting paths which would normally be made read-only or be masked onto a path that the attacker
 can write to. This attack is very similar in concept and application to CVE-2025-31133, except that it
 attacks a similar vulnerability in a different target (namely, the bind-mount of `/dev/pts/$n` to
 `/dev/console` as configured for all containers that allocate a console). This happens after
 `pivot_root(2)`, so this cannot be used to write to host files directly -- however, as with
 CVE-2025-31133, this can load to denial of service of the host or a container breakout by providing the
 attacker with a writable copy of `/proc/sysrq-trigger` or `/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern` (respectively).
 This issue is fixed in versions 1.2.8, 1.3.3 and 1.4.0-rc.3. (CVE-2025-52565)

Solution

Update the app-containers/runc library and its related packages to version 18244.521.11 or later.
