RHEL 7 : docker (RHSA-2018:2482)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 111805

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for docker.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2482 advisory.

Docker is an open-source engine that automates the deployment of any application as a lightweight, portable, self-sufficient container that runs virtually anywhere.

Security Fix(es):

* docker: container breakout without selinux in enforcing mode (CVE-2018-10892)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

This issue was discovered by Antonio Murdaca (Red Hat).

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, the `dontaudit` and `allow` SELinux rules were missing, so the kernel raised a SELinux AVC message. Consequently, some commands did not work as expected. This update adds the missing rules, and the commands now run successfully. (BZ#1550967)

* Previously, during a restart the container daemon did not restore the state of a container correctly if an exec'ed process was associated with the container. Consequently, the container daemon aborted with 'panic: close of nil channel' when the daemon was handling the termination of the exec'ed process. This bug has been fixed, and the container daemon no longer panics in the aforementioned scenario. (BZ#1554121)

* Previously, bind mounts were resolved before using them inside a container. Consequently, symlinks could not be mounted inside of the container. With this update, the source of a bind mount is not resolved. As a result, it is possible to bind mount symlinks again into a container. (BZ#1603201)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL docker package based on the guidance in RHSA-2018:2482.
