Maybe if you try to run fishy apps on containers then the hacker can exploit out of the container. I guess that's a possible scenario 🤔

Possibly - so if I keep staying clear of fishy apps I’d be fine.

Does this affect lxc/d as welll?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It affects mainly docker and kubernets containers. I did a little research and apparently docker isn't based of lxc/lxd anymore, so I suppose that it doesn't affect those. Although I'm not sure what kubernets is based off

Kubernetes and docker both use containerd, which in turn uses runc which is what the vulnerability is in.
