NewStart CGSL CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04 : docker-ce Vulnerability (NS-SA-2021-0103)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 154533

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has docker-ce packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- In Docker before versions 9.03.15, 20.10.3 there is a vulnerability involving the --userns-remap option in which access to remapped root allows privilege escalation to real root. When using --userns-remap, if the root user in the remapped namespace has access to the host filesystem they can modify files under /var/lib/docker/<remapping> that cause writing files with extended privileges. Versions 20.10.3 and 19.03.15 contain patches that prevent privilege escalation from remapped user. (CVE-2021-21284)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL docker-ce packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
