Oracle Linux 6 / 7 : docker (ELSA-2014-3095)

high Nessus Plugin ID 79758

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2014-3095 advisory.

- Update source to 1.3.2 from https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.3.2 Prevent host privilege escalation from an image extraction vulnerability (CVE-2014-6407).
Prevent container escalation from malicious security options applied to images (CVE-2014-6408).
The '--insecure-registry' flag of the 'docker run' command has undergone several refinements and additions.
You can now specify a sub-net in order to set a range of registries which the Docker daemon will consider insecure.
By default, Docker now defines 'localhost' as an insecure registry.
Registries can now be referenced using the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format.
When mirroring is enabled, the experimental registry v2 API is skipped.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux 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, docker-devel and / or docker-pkg-devel packages.
