Alpine: firejail: security update to 0.9.44.2-r1 (deprecated)
critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400938
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- Firejail before 0.9.44.4 and 0.9.38.x LTS before 0.9.38.8 LTS does not consider the .Xauthority case
during its attempt to prevent accessing user files with an euid of zero, which allows local users to
conduct sandbox-escape attacks via vectors involving a symlink and the --private option. (CVE-2017-5180)
- Firejail before 0.9.44.4, when running on a Linux kernel before 4.8, allows context-dependent attackers to
bypass a seccomp-based sandbox protection mechanism via the --allow-debuggers argument. (CVE-2017-5206)
- Firejail before 0.9.44.4, when running a bandwidth command, allows local users to gain root privileges via
the --shell argument. (CVE-2017-5207)
