runc through 1.0.0-rc8, as used in Docker through 19.03.2-ce and other products, allows AppArmor restriction bypass because libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go incorrectly checks mount targets, and thus a malicious Docker image can mount over a /proc directory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2019-16884 is a container isolation weakness in runc used by Docker and other products. A malicious container image could bypass AppArmor restrictions by mounting over a /proc directory. The sources do not show active exploitation or a CVSS score, but the issue matters where untrusted images run on AppArmor-protected Linux hosts. Highest exposure is Linux container infrastructure running affected runc or Docker versions while relying on AppArmor, especially CI, build, or multi-tenant environments that execute untrusted images. Treat as a targeted container-platform remediation item, not a confirmed emergency. Prioritize internet-facing, multi-tenant, and untrusted-image environments because the weakness undermines a security control used for containment. Mitigation focus: Update runc and Docker packages using applicable vendor advisories.; Prioritize hosts that run untrusted or third-party container images.; Check distribution advisories for Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Debian packages..
