Docker 1.0.0 uses world-readable and world-writable permissions on the management socket, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03545-1 advisory.

    Note this update contains a already fixed references mostly.

    - Remove git-core recommends on SLE to avoid pulling it in unnecessary. (bsc#1250508)

      This feature is mostly intended for developers ('docker build git://') so       most users already have the dependency installed, and the error when git is       missing is fairly straightforward (so they can easily figure out what they       need to install).

    - Include historical changelog data from before the docker-stable fork. The       initial changelog entry did technically provide all the necessary       information, but our CVE tracking tools do not understand how the package is       forked and so it seems that this package does not include fixes for ~12 years       of updates. So, include a copy of the original package's changelog up until       the fork point. bsc#1250596

    - Update to docker-buildx v0.25.0. Upstream changelog:
      <https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.25.0>

    - Update to Go 1.23 for building now that upstream has switched their 23.0.x       LTSS to use Go 1.23.

    - Do not try to inject SUSEConnect secrets when in Rootless Docker mode, as       Docker does not have permission to access the host zypper credentials in this       mode (and unprivileged users cannot disable the feature using       /etc/docker/suse-secrets-enable.) bsc#1240150

    - Initial docker-stable fork, forked from Docker 24.0.7-ce release       (packaged on 2024-02-14). The original changelog is included below for       historical reference.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03540-1 advisory.

    - Remove git-core recommends on SLE. Most SLE systems have       installRecommends=yes by default and thus end up installing git with Docker.

An updated docker package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extras.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

Docker is a service providing container management on Linux.

It was found that the socket used to manage the Docker service was world readable and writable. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2014-3499)

Red Hat would like to thank Jon Stanley for reporting this issue.

All users of docker are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects this issue. After applying this update, the docker service must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Resolves: rhbz#1114810 - CVE-2014-3499 (correct bz#) Set mode,user,group in docker.socket file

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
