critical Nessus Plugin ID 207442

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Docker Desktop for Linux is prior to 4.34.2. It is therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via crafted extension description/changelog could be abused by a malicious extension in Docker Desktop before 4.34.2.

- A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via crafted extension publisher-url/additional-urls could be abused by a malicious extension in Docker Desktop before 4.34.2.


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

Solution

Upgrade to Docker Desktop version 4.34.2 or later
