Moby is an open source container framework. In Docker Engine prior to version 29.5.1, Docker Daemon versions 28.5.2 and prior, and Moby Daemon prior to version 2.0.0-beta.14, a race condition during docker cp mount setup allows a malicious container to create empty files or directories at arbitrary absolute paths on the host filesystem. This issue has been patched in Docker Engine version 29.5.1 and Moby Daemon version 2.0.0-beta.14.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

    Package        : docker.io     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-33747 CVE-2026-33748 CVE-2026-33997 CVE-2026-34040                      CVE-2026-41567 CVE-2026-41568 CVE-2026-42306

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the Docker container engine     and in the bundled BuildKit build toolkit, which may result in privilege     escalation, arbitrary file access on the host, or bypass of authorization     policies.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 26.1.5+dfsg1-9+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your docker.io packages.

    For the detailed security status of docker.io please refer to     its security tracker page at:
