The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable software containerization. A bug was found in     Moby (Docker Engine) where supplementary groups are not set up properly. If an attacker has direct access     to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use supplementary     group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access to sensitive     information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container. This bug is fixed in Moby (Docker     Engine) 20.10.18. Running containers should be stopped and restarted for the permissions to be fixed. For     users unable to upgrade, this problem can be worked around by not using the `USER $USERNAME` Dockerfile     instruction. Instead by calling `ENTRYPOINT [su, -, user]` the supplementary groups will be set up     properly. (CVE-2022-36109)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the versions of the docker-engine package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable software containerization. A bug was found in     Moby (Docker Engine) where supplementary groups are not set up properly. If an attacker has direct access     to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use supplementary     group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access to sensitive     information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container. This bug is fixed in Moby (Docker     Engine) 20.10.18. Running containers should be stopped and restarted for the permissions to be fixed. For     users unable to upgrade, this problem can be worked around by not using the `'USER $USERNAME'` Dockerfile     instruction. Instead by calling `ENTRYPOINT ['su', '-', 'user']` the supplementary groups will be set up     properly. (CVE-2022-36109)

  - containerd is an open source container runtime. Before versions 1.6.18 and 1.5.18, when importing an OCI     image, there was no limit on the number of bytes read for certain files. A maliciously crafted image with     a large file where a limit was not applied could cause a denial of service. This bug has been fixed in     containerd 1.6.18 and 1.5.18. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. As a workaround,     ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.
    (CVE-2023-25153)

  - containerd is an open source container runtime. A bug was found in containerd prior to versions 1.6.18 and     1.5.18 where supplementary groups are not set up properly inside a container. If an attacker has direct     access to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use     supplementary group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access     to sensitive information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container. Downstream applications     that use the containerd client library may be affected as well. This bug has been fixed in containerd     v1.6.18 and v.1.5.18. Users should update to these versions and recreate containers to resolve this issue.
    Users who rely on a downstream application that uses containerd's client library should check that     application for a separate advisory and instructions. As a workaround, ensure that the `'USER $USERNAME'`     Dockerfile instruction is not used. Instead, set the container entrypoint to a value similar to     `ENTRYPOINT ['su', '-', 'user']` to allow `su` to properly set up supplementary groups. (CVE-2023-25173)

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-156 advisory.

    A bug was found in containerd's CRI implementation where programs inside a container can cause the     containerd daemon to consume memory without bound during invocation of the ExecSync API. This can cause     containerd to consume all available memory on the computer, denying service to other legitimate workloads.
    Kubernetes and crictl can both be configured to use containerd's CRI implementation; ExecSync may be used     when running probes or when executing processes via an exec facility. (CVE-2022-31030)

    A flaw was found in Moby. This flaw allows an attacker to bypass primary group restrictions due to a flaw     in the supplementary group access setup. (CVE-2022-36109)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-210 advisory.

    A bug was found in containerd where containers launched through containerd's CRI implementation with a     specially-crafted image configuration could gain access to read-only copies of arbitrary files and     directories on the host. This may bypass any policy-based enforcement on container setup (including a     Kubernetes Pod Security Policy) and expose potentially sensitive information. Kubernetes and crictl can     both be configured to use containerd's CRI implementation. (CVE-2022-23648)

    A flaw was found in Moby (Docker Engine), where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities. This flaw allows an attacker with access to programs with     inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.
    Containers using Linux users and groups to perform privilege separation inside the container are most     directly impacted. (CVE-2022-24769)

    A bug was found in containerd's CRI implementation where programs inside a container can cause the     containerd daemon to consume memory without bound during invocation of the ExecSync API.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03540-1 advisory.

    - Include historical changelog data from before the docker-stable fork. The       initial changelog entry did technically provide all the necessary       information, but our CVE tracking tools do not understand how the package is       forked and so it seems that this package does not include fixes for ~12 years       of updates. So, include a copy of the original package's changelog up until       the fork point. (bsc#1250596)

    - Remove git-core recommends on SLE. Most SLE systems have       installRecommends=yes by default and thus end up installing git with Docker.
      bsc#1250508

      This feature is mostly intended for developers ('docker build git://') so       most users already have the dependency installed, and the error when git is       missing is fairly straightforward (so they can easily figure out what they       need to install).

    - Backport <https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/48517>. bsc#1247362

    - Update to docker-buildx v0.25.0. Upstream changelog:
      <https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.25.0>

    - Do not try to inject SUSEConnect secrets when in Rootless Docker mode, as       Docker does not have permission to access the host zypper credentials in this       mode (and unprivileged users cannot disable the feature using       /etc/docker/suse-secrets-enable.) bsc#1240150

    - Initial docker-stable fork, forked from Docker 24.0.7-ce release       (packaged on 2024-02-14). The original changelog is included below for       historical reference.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.
