Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper IPC resource management in shared namespaces during container lifecycle events. Key functions involved in cleanup (cleanup), removeContainer and restart logic (restartWithPolicy) likely fail to detach or release IPC resources tied to namespaces held by other containers. This allows malicious containers to repeatedly exhaust memory via /dev/shm. The confidence is medium due to the absence of explicit patch details, but the functions align with described behavior in vulnerability reports and Red Hat bugzilla discussions.
