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)
