Usually you are not expected to come up with 0days in CTFs (although 32C3 CTF actually featured a "0.5"day-ish bug in a different challenge that was not considered a security issue before). The challenge here was to realize that you could pass a directory file descriptor to the container via a Unix socket, not to break out of a well-configured docker container. The latter would hopefully be a bit harder to do in just a few hours of time :)
