How a runc 1.1.5 Bug Miswired CPU Binding and Triggered K8s Outages

A recent K8s host‑level deployment triggered massive service timeouts because runc 1.1.5 passed incorrect CPU‑binding masks to systemd, causing containers to share cores, inflating load and starving workloads, a problem uncovered with Perfetto, BPF tracing and a targeted bug‑fix upgrade.
