High [CVE-2026-18107] container escape via rseq critical section hijack during checkpoint/restore
CVE-2026-18107Source published Source updated
A flaw was found in CRIU's handling of restartable sequences (rseq) during checkpoint/restore. A malicious process inside a container can register an rseq critical section that hijacks CRIU's parasite code injection during checkpoint, allowing it to spoof the process credentials saved in the checkpoint image. On restore, the container process gains elevated capabilities and zeroed UIDs/GIDs. The practical impact on Red Hat products is limited by several factors: checkpoint/restore requires root privileges (podman) or cluster-admin RBAC (OpenShift) to trigger and cannot be initiated from within the container itself; on OpenShift prior to 4.17 the feature required explicit opt-in, and on 4.17+ the kubelet checkpoint API RBAC is not configured by default; OpenShift enforces user namespaces…

- Source-reported fixed versions
- No fixed-version detail extracted. This does not mean no fix exists.
- Mitigation guidance
- Disable checkpoint/restore functionality in the container runtime if it is not required. If checkpoint/restore is needed, ensure containers run with user namespaces enabled, which limits the scope of spoofed capabilities to the user namespace.
