Incident Report

At present customers running Docker containers cannot use /mnt/ramdisk. Customers will need to modify their configuration to use the filesystem instead. This has occurred in order to update the Docker Infrastructure that supports our `working_directory: /mnt/ramdisk` feature. This is a necessary step in order to address CVE-2025-31133, CVE-2025-52565, and CVE-2025-52881. This bug affects any Docker jobs utilizing `working_directory: /mnt/ramdisk`. Jobs will fail on checkout and workspace attachments. The immediate workaround will be to remove any usage of `working_directory: /mnt/ramdisk` from your job which will require an update of `.circleci/config.yml` Once this maintenance is complete, customers will be unable to utilize `working_directory: /mnt/ramdisk`until further notice.
