containerd: Failed to exec into the container due to permission issue after executing 'systemctl daemon-reload'

Description

I have met a weird probelm that after I executing ‘systemctl daemon-reload’ on any node inside my cluster, I can’t exec into those pods on that node any more.

The error message shows that it is related to a permission issue. error: Internal error occurred: error executing command in container: failed to exec in container: failed to start exec "d54b2d2c946fd0295ac7551d4360a5c25f3c8c20efce2872188187228bd0c8de": OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: open /dev/pts/0: operation not permitted: unknown

All configurations are the default ones. And I didn’t meet with this issue on containerd 1.5.5. It is the first time I have meet with this kind of issue on containerd 1.6.6

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install containerd 1.6.6, start containerd via systemd, refer to : https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md
2. Install a K8s cluster with kubeadm 1.24.2
3. Create a pod, like this example kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --port=80 --expose
4. run ‘systemctl daemon-reload’
5. Try to exec in container, like this example kubectl exec -ti nginx -- bash
6. You will get the permission issue

Describe the results you received and expected

Received: error: Internal error occurred: error executing command in container: failed to exec in container: failed to start exec "d54b2d2c946fd0295ac7551d4360a5c25f3c8c20efce2872188187228bd0c8de": OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: open /dev/pts/0: operation not permitted: unknown Expected: I want to exec in the container as usual.

What version of containerd are you using?

containerd github.com/containerd/containerd v1.6.6 10c12954828e7c7c9b6e0ea9b0c02b01407d3ae1
