Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-3627)

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

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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.
