Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) UNIX symbolic link following

EUVDB-ID: #VU66857

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2015-3627

CWE-ID: CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue, because Docker opens the file-descriptor passed to the pid-1 process before performing the chroot. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in privilege escalation.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions
