+Subject: [PATCH] Fix bind mount target redirection via symlink swap during
+ docker cp
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Pin mount targets via /proc/self/fd file descriptors to prevent TOCTOU
+attacks.
+
+Previously, a container process could swap a path component with a
+symlink between GetResourcePath resolution and directory/file creation
+or mount, allowing writes to arbitrary host paths outside the container.
+
+Open the resolved destination through os.Root to get a pinned fd, then
+mount onto /proc/self/fd/<fd> instead of re-resolving the
+container-relative path. This closes the TOCTOU window between
+createIfNotExists and mount.
+
+Because the kernel rejects remount and propagation-change syscalls on
+/proc/self/fd paths, the initial bind mount uses the fd path for safety,
+then Readlink resolves the real path for the subsequent read-only
+remount and rprivate propagation change.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-42306
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/moby/moby/commit/63772fe8630ee74f7c45d20637f3161cc750f4da]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Replaced upstream root.Open with the Scarthgap openInRoot helper,
+ which uses openat(2) and O_NOFOLLOW from a pinned container-root fd
+ because Go 1.22 does not provide os.Root.
+- Used a raw O_PATH fd and /proc/self/fd/<fd> for the initial bind
+ mount, then kept the upstream real-path remount and propagation flow.
+- Kept raw fd close handling explicit: fatal paths close before
+ returning, while non-fatal makeMountRRO errors fall through to the
+ common close so targetFd is closed exactly once.
+- Retained the strings import because pathComponents still uses
+ strings.Split in the Scarthgap openat(2) helper; upstream removes it
+ because os.Root avoids that helper.

+Subject: [PATCH] daemon: resolve in-container symlinks before os.Root mount ops
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The security fix in GHSA-vp62-88p7-qqf5 switched openContainerFS to
+os.Root for mount-destination operations, but stopped walking the
+destination through in-container symlinks.
+
+os.Root refuses to follow absolute symlinks, so any container whose
+image had an absolute symlink along the mount target's path (e.g. the
+common /var/run -> /run in ubuntu/alpine/busybox) broke `docker cp`.
+
+Walk m.Destination through ctr.GetResourcePath first which follows
+symlinks to get a path relative to BaseFS, then keep using os.Root for
+the actual MkdirAll/OpenFile/Open calls.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-42306
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/moby/moby/commit/f82f5a92d2ca3a2337b167bdc0a91d99a89756ef]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Reworded upstream os.Root comments only where this branch uses the
+ Scarthgap openat(2)-based root-scoped helpers from p1.
+- Added an Fstat check after O_PATH|O_NOFOLLOW so a final symlink fd is
+ rejected, matching the intended os.Root.Open behavior.
+- Ported upstream TestCopyWithAbsoluteSymlinkedMountTarget from
+ integration/container/copy_linux_test.go into Scarthgap's
+ integration/container/copy_test.go, where the copy integration tests
+ live in this branch.
