RAM Disk is currently not usable in Docker jobs

Incident Report for CircleCI

Monitoring

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.
