Amazon Linux 2 : docker (ALASDOCKER-2023-024)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 174971

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of docker installed on the remote host is prior to 20.10.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2DOCKER-2023-024 advisory.

A flaw was found in Moby. This flaw allows an attacker to bypass primary group restrictions due to a flaw in the supplementary group access setup. (CVE-2022-36109)

Docker version 20.10.15, build fd82621 is vulnerable to Insecure Permissions. Unauthorized users outside the Docker container can access any files within the Docker container. (CVE-2022-37708)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update docker' to update your system.
