'Name' => 'runc (docker) File Descriptor Leak Privilege Escalation',  
'Description' => %q{  
All versions of runc <=1.1.11, as used by containerization technologies such as Docker engine,  
and Kubernetes are vulnerable to an arbitrary file write.  
Due to a file descriptor leak it is possible to mount the host file system  
with the permissions of runc (typically root).  
  
Successfully tested on Ubuntu 22.04 with runc 1.1.7-0ubuntu1~22.04.1 using Docker build.
