v1.1.2 -- "I should think I’m going to be a perpetual student."

This is the second patch release of the runc 1.1 release branch. It
fixes CVE-2022-29162, a minor security issue (which appears to not be
exploitable) related to process capabilities.

This is a similar bug to the ones found and fixed in Docker and
containerd recently (CVE-2022-24769).

 * A bug was found in runc where runc exec --cap executed processes with
   non-empty inheritable Linux process capabilities, creating an atypical Linux
   environment. For more information, see [GHSA-f3fp-gc8g-vw66][] and
   CVE-2022-29162.
 * `runc spec` no longer sets any inheritable capabilities in the created
   example OCI spec (`config.json`) file.

Thanks to all of the contributors who made this release possible:

* Kir Kolyshkin <kolyshkin@gmail.com>
