Package

docker-engine (bottlerocket)

Affected versions

< 1.19.1

Patched versions

1.19.1

Description

A flaw was found in the Interactive Containers API in the Moby Builder Toolkit where entitlement checks are not adequately validated, caused by a missing privilege check in a GRPC endpoint when called using a custom syntax format. This flaw allows the currently running privileged container to leverage its elevated privileges, such as full Linux capabilities, to break out of the container and achieve complete host root command execution. This issue may lead to container escape to the underlying host OS when building an image using a malicious Dockerfile or upstream image (for example, when using FROM).

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
