Alpine: multiple docker packages: security update to 27.1.1-r0
critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 425987
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 for software containerization. A security vulnerability
has been detected in certain versions of Docker Engine, which could allow an attacker to bypass
authorization plugins (AuthZ) under specific circumstances. The base likelihood of this being exploited is
low. Using a specially-crafted API request, an Engine API client could make the daemon forward the request
or response to an authorization plugin without the body. In certain circumstances, the authorization
plugin may allow a request which it would have otherwise denied if the body had been forwarded to it. A
security issue was discovered In 2018, where an attacker could bypass AuthZ plugins using a specially
crafted API request. This could lead to unauthorized actions, including privilege escalation. Although
this issue was fixed in Docker Engine v18.09.1 in January 2019, the fix was not carried forward to later
major versions, resulting in a regression. Anyone who depends on authorization plugins that introspect the
request and/or response body to make access control decisions is potentially impacted. Docker EE v19.03.x
and all versions of Mirantis Container Runtime are not vulnerable. docker-ce v27.1.1 containes patches to
fix the vulnerability. Patches have also been merged into the master, 19.03, 20.0, 23.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0,
and 26.1 release branches. If one is unable to upgrade immediately, avoid using AuthZ plugins and/or
restrict access to the Docker API to trusted parties, following the principle of least privilege.
