Limit Access to the Host Process ID Namespace
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Containers should not be allowed access to the host's process ID namespace. To prevent containers from getting access to a host's process ID namespace, the appropriate Security Context Constraints (SCCs) should setallowHostPID
to false
.
Rationale
A container running in the host's PID namespace can inspect processes running outside the container which can be used to escalate privileges outside of the container.
