I found a process named “exe” running on the VM where my Rancher docker container was running. When I stopped the Rancher container, the exe process disappeared from the list of running processes. This exe process was eating >50% of my CPU on the VM.
Anybody ever see this before?
The VM is running a fully updated Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.
There are 381 instances of “exe” in /proc
