It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-542 advisory.

    2024-08-28: CVE-2023-45289 was added to this advisory.

    A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response     body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further     exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a     handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which     permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The     net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large     metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real     body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)

    When following an HTTP redirect to a domain which is not a subdomain match or exact match of the initial     domain, an http.Client does not forward sensitive headers such as Authorization or Cookie. For     example, a redirect from foo.com to www.foo.com will forward the Authorization header, but a redirect to     bar.com will not. A maliciously crafted HTTP redirect could cause sensitive headers to be unexpectedly     forwarded. (CVE-2023-45289)

    BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and     repeatable manner. A malicious BuildKit client or frontend could craft a request that could lead to     BuildKit daemon crashing with a panic. The issue has been fixed in v0.12.5. As a workaround, avoid using     BuildKit frontends from untrusted sources. (CVE-2024-23650)

    BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and     repeatable manner. Two malicious build steps running in parallel sharing the same cache mounts with     subpaths could cause a race condition that can lead to files from the host system being accessible to the     build container. The issue has been fixed in v0.12.5. Workarounds include, avoiding using BuildKit     frontend from an untrusted source or building an untrusted Dockerfile containing cache mounts with
    --mount=type=cache,source=... options. (CVE-2024-23651)

    BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and     repeatable manner. A malicious BuildKit frontend or Dockerfile using RUN --mount could trick the feature     that removes empty files created for the mountpoints into removing a file outside the container, from the     host system. The issue has been fixed in v0.12.5. Workarounds include avoiding using BuildKit frontends     from an untrusted source or building an untrusted Dockerfile containing RUN --mount feature.
    (CVE-2024-23652)

    BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and     repeatable manner. In addition to running containers as build steps, BuildKit also provides APIs for     running interactive containers based on built images. It was possible to use these APIs to ask BuildKit to     run a container with elevated privileges. Normally, running such containers is only allowed if special     `security.insecure` entitlement is enabled both by buildkitd configuration and allowed by the user     initializing the build request. The issue has been fixed in v0.12.5 . Avoid using BuildKit frontends from     untrusted sources. (CVE-2024-23653)

    Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable software containerization. The classic builder     cache system is prone to cache poisoning if the image is built FROM scratch. Also, changes to some     instructions (most important being HEALTHCHECK and ONBUILD) would not cause a cache miss. An attacker with     the knowledge of the Dockerfile someone is using could poison their cache by making them pull a specially     crafted image that would be considered as a valid cache candidate for some build steps. 23.0+ users are     only affected if they explicitly opted out of Buildkit (DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 environment variable) or are     using the /build API endpoint. All users on versions older than 23.0 could be impacted. Image build API     endpoint (/build) and ImageBuild function from github.com/docker/docker/client is also affected as it the     uses classic builder by default. Patches are included in 24.0.9 and 25.0.2 releases. (CVE-2024-24557)
