CVE-2025-52565

Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat AI Inference Server 3.2.2 (CUDA)

Description

A flaw was found in runc. CVE-2025-52565 is very similar in concept and application toCVE-2025-31133, except that it exploits a flaw in /dev/console bind-mounts. When creating the /dev/console bind-mount (to /dev/pts/$n), if an attacker replaces /dev/pts/$n with a symlink then runc will bind-mount the symlink target over /dev/console.

Weakness classes (CWE)

  • CWE-61Compound

    UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

    The product, when opening a file or directory, does not sufficiently account for when the file is a symbolic link that resolves to a target outside of the intended control sphere. This could allow an attacker to cause the product to operate on unauthorized files.

  • CWE-363Base

    Race Condition Enabling Link Following

    The product checks the status of a file or directory before accessing it, which produces a race condition in which the file can be replaced with a link before the access is performed, causing the product to access the wrong file.
