Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Docker Engine up to 1.8.2 (Virtualization Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown function of the component Image Layer Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability (Cache Poisoning). CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Docker Engine before 1.8.3 and CS Docker Engine before 1.6.2-CS7 do not use a globally unique identifier to store image layers, which makes it easier for attackers to poison the image cache via a crafted image in pull or push commands.

The weakness was presented 12/17/2019 (Website). The advisory is shared at docker.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-8178 since 10/10/2014. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 86437 (openSUSE Security Update : docker (openSUSE-2015-666)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family SuSE Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 155327 (Oracle Enterprise Linux Security Update for docker-engine (ELSA-2015-3085)).

Upgrading to version 1.8.3 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at Tenable (86437). See VDB-147274 for similar entry. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
