NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream runc package and not the runc package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of "<script", "<!--", and "</script" within JS literals in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly consider script contexts to be terminated early, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This could be leveraged to perform an XSS attack.
