Yes, it does.

1. Every system has vulnerabilities. You can defend against them.

2. Any improperly configured system can be abused. In particular, the exploit you linked can be completely stopped with a litany of ways. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16030107

Your argument going from "containers are unfit for production, you'll mature out of them one day" to "here's a small, preventable vulnerability" seems more like a security non-sequiter than an actual argument against containerization.

Further, claiming containers are not production ready is empirically and literally negated by them used, in production, by the largest tech companies that have ever existed.
