Title: EGI SVG 'ALERT'[TLP:WHITE] Docker symlink-race attack CVE-2018-15664 CVE [EGI-SVG-CVE-2018-15664] Date: 2019-05-29 Updated: Affected software and risk ========================== Vulnerability concerning Docker Package : Docker CVE ID : CVE-2018-15644 Docker has been found to be vulnerable to a symlink-race attack. Some information on this has been released publicly [R 1] [R 2] but SVG is still investigating the implications. Actions required/recommended ============================ Sites or anyone in the EGI community running Docker should be ready to patch or take other mitigating action when a patch or mitigation is available. Sites failing to act and/or failing to respond to requests from the EGI CSIRT team risk site suspension. Component installation information ================================== A patch is not available yet, one has been produced by the original reporter but is undergoing code review as stated in [R 1]. Mitigation ========== None defined yet. More information ================ See [R 1], [R 2] SVG will provide an update when action is recommended. SVG has assessed the potential impact of the vulnerability and concluded that affected hosts would be vulnerable only if they allow unprivileged users to launch their own containers through a Docker service. That is, Worker Nodes that happen to be Docker containers themselves would, for example, not be vulnerable. Although investigations are still ongoing, given the public attention for this issue we are sending this Alert. TLP and URL =========== ** WHITE information - Unlimited distribution - see https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_CSIRT:TLP for distribution restrictions*** URL: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/SVG:Advisory-SVG-CVE-2018-15664 Minor updates may be made without re-distribution to the sites Comments ======== Comments or questions should be sent to svg-rat at mailman.egi.eu If you find or become aware of another vulnerability which is relevant to EGI you may report it by e-mail to report-vulnerability at egi.eu the EGI Software Vulnerability Group will take a look according to the procedure defined in [R 3] Note that this is undergoing revision to fully handle vulnerabilities in the EOSC-hub era.
