From ${URL} : Docker Engine version 1.6.1 has been released to address several vulnerabilities and is immediately available for all supported platforms. Users are advised to upgrade existing installations of the Docker Engine and use 1.6.1 for new installations. It should be noted that each of the vulnerabilities allowing privilege escalation may only be exploited by a malicious Dockerfile or image. Users are advised to run their own images and/or images built by trusted parties, such as those in the official images library. Please send any questions to security@...ker.com. ==================================================================== [CVE-2015-3629] Symlink traversal on container respawn allows local privilege escalation ==================================================================== Libcontainer version 1.6.0 introduced changes which facilitated a mount namespace breakout upon respawn of a container. This allowed malicious images to write files to the host system and escape containerization. Libcontainer and Docker Engine 1.6.1 have been released to address this vulnerability. Users running untrusted images are encouraged to upgrade Docker Engine. Discovered by Tõnis Tiigi. ============================================================== [CVE-2015-3627] Insecure opening of file-descriptor 1 leading to privilege escalation ============================================================== The file-descriptor passed by libcontainer to the pid-1 process of a container has been found to be opened prior to performing the chroot, allowing insecure open and symlink traversal. This allows malicious container images to trigger a local privilege escalation. Libcontainer and Docker Engine 1.6.1 have been released to address this vulnerability. Users running untrusted images are encouraged to upgrade Docker Engine. Discovered by Tõnis Tiigi. ================================================================== [CVE-2015-3630] Read/write proc paths allow host modification & information disclosure ================================================================== Several paths underneath /proc were writable from containers, allowing global system manipulation and configuration. These paths included /proc/asound, /proc/timer_stats, /proc/latency_stats, and /proc/fs. By allowing writes to /proc/fs, it has been noted that CIFS volumes could be forced into a protocol downgrade attack by a root user operating inside of a container. Machines having loaded the timer_stats module were vulnerable to having this mechanism enabled and consumed by a container. We are releasing Docker Engine 1.6.1 to address this vulnerability. All versions up to 1.6.1 are believed vulnerable. Users running untrusted images are encouraged to upgrade. Discovered by Eric Windisch of the Docker Security Team. =============================================== [CVE-2015-3631] Volume mounts allow LSM profile escalation =============================================== By allowing volumes to override files of /proc within a mount namespace, a user could specify arbitrary policies for Linux Security Modules, including setting an unconfined policy underneath AppArmor, or a docker_t policy for processes managed by SELinux. In all versions of Docker up until 1.6.1, it is possible for malicious images to configure volume mounts such that files of proc may be overridden. We are releasing Docker Engine 1.6.1 to address this vulnerability. All versions up to 1.6.1 are believed vulnerable. Users running untrusted images are encouraged to upgrade. Discovered by Eric Windisch of the Docker Security Team. ======================== AppArmor policy improvements ======================== The 1.6.1 release also marks preventative additions to the AppArmor policy. Recently, several CVEs against the kernel have been reported whereby mount namespaces could be circumvented through the use of the sys_mount syscall from inside of an unprivileged Docker container. In all reported cases, the AppArmor policy included in libcontainer and shipped with Docker has been sufficient to deflect these attacks. However, we have deemed it prudent to proactively tighten the policy further by outright denying the use of the sys_mount syscall. @maintainer(s): since the package or the affected version has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. After the bump, please remove the affected versions from the tree.
I added 1.6.1 to docker-overlay yesterday (https://github.com/tianon/docker-overlay/blob/master/app-emulation/docker/docker-1.6.1.ebuild), it just needs to be proxied in and old versions removed. :)

CVE-2015-3631 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-3631): Docker Engine before 1.6.1 allows local users to set arbitrary Linux Security Modules (LSM) and docker_t policies via an image that allows volumes to override files in /proc. CVE-2015-3630 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-3630): Docker Engine before 1.6.1 uses weak permissions for (1) /proc/asound, (2) /proc/timer_stats, (3) /proc/latency_stats, and (4) /proc/fs, which allows local users to modify the host, obtain sensitive information, and perform protocol downgrade attacks via a crafted image. CVE-2015-3629 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-3629): Libcontainer 1.6.0, as used in Docker Engine, allows local users to escape containerization ("mount namespace breakout") and write to arbitrary file on the host system via a symlink attack in an image when respawning a container. CVE-2015-3627 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-3627): Libcontainer and Docker Engine before 1.6.1 opens the file-descriptor passed to the pid-1 process before performing the chroot, which allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack in an image.
@maintainer(s), please cleanup the vulnerable versions in the tree. Thank you.
