What it is about

Docker ist eine Open-Source-Software, die dazu verwendet werden kann, Anwendungen mithilfe von Betriebssystemvirtualisierung in Containern zu isolieren. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in docker ausnutzen, um Dateien zu manipulieren.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • Dateien zu manipulieren

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Amazon Linux 2
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

  • Open Source docker 29.7.0

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
