Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : Docker vulnerability (USN-4103-2)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 128029

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4103-2 advisory.

 Jasiel Spelman discovered that a double free existed in the docker-credential- helpers dependency of Docker. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.



Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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 affected docker.io package.
