Oracle Linux 6 / 7 : docker-engine (ELSA-2015-3085)

high Nessus Plugin ID 86395

Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-3085 advisory.

- Docker Engine before 1.8.3 and CS Docker Engine before 1.6.2-CS7 do not use a globally unique identifier to store image layers, which makes it easier for attackers to poison the image cache via a crafted image in pull or push commands. (CVE-2014-8178)

- Docker Engine before 1.8.3 and CS Docker Engine before 1.6.2-CS7 does not properly validate and extract the manifest object from its JSON representation during a pull, which allows attackers to inject new attributes in a JSON object and bypass pull-by-digest validation. (CVE-2014-8179)

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

Solution

Update the affected docker-engine package.
