Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS : Docker vulnerabilities (USN-7161-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 213083

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7161-1 advisory.

 Yair Zak discovered that Docker could unexpectedly forward DNS requests

 from internal networks in an unexpected manner. An attacker could possibly use this issue to exfiltrate data by encoding information in DNS queries

 to controlled nameservers. This issue was only addressed in

 Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-29018)

 Cory Snider discovered that Docker did not properly handle authorization

 plugin request processing. An attacker could possibly use this issue to

 bypass authorization controls by forwarding API requests without their

 full body, leading to unauthorized actions. (CVE-2024-41110)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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

Update the affected docker.io package.
