An update that solves one vulnerability can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for runc fixes the following issues:

Update to 1.3.6.

  * CVE-2026-41579: malicious image with a `/dev` symlink can trigger limited
    host filesystem integrity violations (bsc#1268275).

Other updates and bugfixes:

  * Version 1.3.6:
  * When masking directories with `maskPaths`, runc will now re- use a single
    `tmpfs` instance (which is not writeable) to reduce the number `tmpfs`
    superblocks that need to be reaped when containers die (in particular,
    Kubernetes applies masks to per-CPU sysfs directories which get expensive
    quickly).
  * Version 1.3.5:
  * Recursive atime-related mount flags (rrelatime et al.) are now applied
    properly.
  * PR #4757 caused a regression that resulted in spurious cannot start a
    container that has stopped errors when running runc create and has thus been
    reverted.
  * Updated builds to Go 1.25, libseccomp v2.6.0.
  * Minor signing keyring updates.
