## Description

A vulnerability exists in the bind-propagation option of the Dockerfile RUN
--mount instruction. The system does not properly validate the input passed
to this option, allowing users to pass arbitrary parameters to the mount
instruction. This issue can be exploited to mount sensitive directories
from the host into a container during the build process and, in some cases,
modify the contents of those mounted files. Even if SELinux is used, this
vulnerability can bypass its protection by allowing the source directory to
be relabeled to give the container access to host files.
