Vulnerability

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Description

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.

Affected Versions

All versions before 19.3.15, all versions starting from 20.10.0-beta1 before 20.10.3

Solution

Upgrade to versions 19.3.15, 20.10.3 or above.
