Hmm, what?
A privileged container has uid 0 in the container be uid 0 at the kernel level.
An unprivileged container has uid 0 in the container mapped to uid
10 at the kernel level.
Unprivileged containers are MASSIVELY more secure than privileged containers.
There are numerous ways to escape a privileged container which just down
to the fact that you are running with full kernel privileges and so
entirely rely on things like capabilities and LSMs to protect your
system.
Unprivileged containers on the other hand are safe by-design. An attack
which would allow root in an unprivileged container to escape to the
host, would also be a user to root privilege escalation but for every
normal Linux systems. There are some of those every so often, they are
critical kernel security bugs and they do get fixed very quickly.
Unprivileged containers do not need a perfectly configured seccomp,
apparmor, capabilities set or cgroups to be safe, all of those are
merely extra safety nets in case the main privilege enforcement (user
namespace) fails due to a critical kernel security bug.
