Secure Container solution is to enhance container security by isolating memory between Docker containers inside one VM with Intel VT-x EPT HW, which is highly effective to protect container’s memory and at the meantime defends ret2user privilege escalation attack that exploits kernel vulnerabilities (eg. CVE-2017-6074 UAF (use-after-free) vulnerability). It extends KVM interfaces which the guest OS can leverage to isolate container memory from other containers, and the interfaces rely on Intel VT-x EPT hardware extension and provide memory access protection for the container which sits in an isolated memory region. Each secure container has a dedicated EPT table rather than sharing one EPT table with guest OS, which enforces the cross-EPT memory access protection. The whole solution is user-friendly to fit in the existing cloud server infrastructure with very limited changes.
