Overview

On Wednesday January 31, 2024, the Snyk Security Labs team published an advisory about high severity vulnerabilities in the runc command line utility and Docker components.

Docker and runc are common parts of hosted and cloud services infrastructure that can run specific workloads in isolated environments, also referred to as “containers”. The vulnerabilities could allow a crafted malicious container image to escape and gain code execution on the underlying host operating system. This is particularly impactful to scenarios in which containers are provided by an external and untrusted entity as it could enable privileged host-level access to the underlying docker host.

Due to the nature of this vulnerability, it is unlikely that any Sophos products will be impacted.

Patches for Docker and runc

According to the official Docker security advisory, the fixes are included in the following versions:

 Patched versions
runc>= 1.1.12
BuildKit>= 0.12.5
Moby (Docker Engine)>= 25.0.2 and >= 24.0.9
Docker Desktop>= 4.27.1
