- CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management
- Fix
1.0.1- Upgrade github.com/docker/docker to this version or later
Description
Docker 1.0.0 uses world-readable and world-writable permissions on the management socket, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
Affected versions
Go
| Package | Vulnerable | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| github.com/docker/docker | < 1.0.1 |
1.0.1 |
How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
github.com/docker/docker Go → 1.0.1
- go
go get github.com/docker/docker@v1.0.1 && go mod tidy

Weakness
CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
How to prevent it
- Architecture and Design, Operation: Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
- Architecture and Design: Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
- Architecture and Design: Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
