Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure IoT Edge (Cloud Software) (affected version unknown). This vulnerability affects an unknown functionality of the component Docker. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The weakness was published 07/09/2019 as confirmed security update guide (Website). The advisory is available at portal.msrc.microsoft.com. The public release has been coordinated with the vendor. This vulnerability was named CVE-2018-15664 since 08/21/2018. Local access is required to approach this attack. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. The advisory points out:

CVE-2018-15664 describes a vulnerability in the Docker runtime (and the underlying community project, Moby) wherein a malicious/compromised container can acquire full read/write access to the host operating system where that container is running. The vulnerability depends on the way that the Docker runtime handles symbolic links and is most directly exploitable through the Docker copy API (‘docker cp’ in the Docker CLI).

The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 158000 (Oracle Enterprise Linux Security Update for docker-engine (ELSA-2019-4680)).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
