Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Privilege Escalation: Inadvertent privilege retention can occur during specification generation if underlying slices for bounding and effective capability sets are shared and mutated. This allows containers to be generated with higher privileges than intended.
Sandbox Escape: Validation of OCI runtime spec Linux devices historically permitted non-zero or negative major/minor numbers for named pipes ('p'), which could be abused to bypass sandbox constraints.
Path Traversal: The validator previously accepted relative namespace paths, potentially allowing relative path traversal or containment bypass because namespace paths were not strictly verified as absolute.
