SCA: security update for github.com/docker/docker, github.com/moby/moby (GHSA-xw73-rw38-6vjc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420706

Description

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

- Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable software containerization. The classic builder
cache system is prone to cache poisoning if the image is built FROM scratch. Also, changes to some
instructions (most important being HEALTHCHECK and ONBUILD) would not cause a cache miss. An attacker with
the knowledge of the Dockerfile someone is using could poison their cache by making them pull a specially
crafted image that would be considered as a valid cache candidate for some build steps. 23.0+ users are
only affected if they explicitly opted out of Buildkit (DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 environment variable) or are
using the /build API endpoint. All users on versions older than 23.0 could be impacted. Image build API
endpoint (/build) and ImageBuild function from github.com/docker/docker/client is also affected as it the
uses classic builder by default. Patches are included in 24.0.9 and 25.0.2 releases. (CVE-2024-24557)
