How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 runc to version 0:1.0.0-66.rc10.rhaos4.3.el7_8 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2020:1485.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream runc package and not the runc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

runc through 1.0.0-rc9 has Incorrect Access Control leading to Escalation of Privileges, related to libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. To exploit this, an attacker must be able to spawn two containers with custom volume-mount configurations, and be able to run custom images. (This vulnerability does not affect Docker due to an implementation detail that happens to block the attack.)
