BuildKit: Custom frontend could bypass Seccomp/AppArmor

BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. Prior to 0.31.1, a custom frontend could place an invalid SecurityMode value in a crafted build request, and executor/oci/spec_linux.go treated the unsupported value as a non-sandbox mode without requiring the security.insecure entitlement. This disabled Seccomp and AppArmor protections for the build container even though Linux capabilities remained restricted. This issue is fixed in version 0.31.1.

LLB file operation can be tricked to remove /tmp directory contents

A crafted message in the BuildKit low-level build API can be used to remove the contents of the /tmp directory. The action that can normally be used to delete files inside the build container rootfs can escape into the real host temp directory.

Possible panic when incorrect parameters sent from frontend

A malicious BuildKit client or frontend could craft a request that could lead to BuildKit daemon crashing with a panic.

Git source checkout from a bundle file could lead to command injection

BuildKit custom frontends or clients using the raw low-level API can set git.checkoutbundle=true when checking out Git sources. If the Git source is malicious, this could lead to a crafted command invocation on the host.

Malicious client can bypass destination directory validation on local sources upload

A custom client can produce such an upload request to the BuildKit daemon that files can escape from the BuildKit-controlled state directory. The client needs to have valid permissions to access the BuildKit control API to issue builds, e.g., bypass authentication, etc.

WCOW cache mount source selector resolves NTFS junctions outside of cache root

BuildKit's cache mount source= selector on Windows Container on Windows (WCOW) workers does not detect NTFS directory junctions placed inside the cache root. A build authored by an untrusted user on a WCOW-configured BuildKit daemon can read arbitrary host files reachable to the BuildKit daemon process.

Moby: Race condition in docker cp allows creation of arbitrary empty files on the host via symlink swap

Moby is an open source container framework. In Docker Engine prior to version 29.5.1, Docker Daemon versions 28.5.2 and prior, and Moby Daemon prior to version 2.0.0-beta.14, a race condition during docker cp mount setup allows a malicious container to create empty files or directories at arbitrary absolute paths on the host filesystem. This issue has been patched in Docker Engine version 29.5.1 and Moby Daemon version 2.0.0-beta.14.

Moby: Race condition in docker cp allows bind mount redirection to host path

Moby is an open source container framework. In Docker Engine prior to version 29.5.1, Docker Daemon versions 28.5.2 and prior, and Moby Daemon prior to version 2.0.0-beta.14, a race condition during docker cp mount setup allows a malicious container to redirect a bind mount target to an arbitrary host path, potentially overwriting host files or causing denial of service. This issue has been patched in Docker Engine version 29.5.1 and Moby Daemon version 2.0.0-beta.14.

Moby: AuthZ plugin bypass with oversized request body

Moby is an open source container framework. Prior to version 29.3.1, a security vulnerability has been detected that allows attackers to bypass authorization plugins (AuthZ). This issue has been patched in version 29.3.1.

Moby: Off-by-one error in plugin privilege validation

Moby is an open source container framework. Prior to version 29.3.1, a security vulnerability has been detected that allows plugins privilege validation to be bypassed during docker plugin install. Due to an error in the daemon's privilege comparison logic, the daemon may incorrectly accept a privilege set that differs from the one approved by the user. Plugins that request exactly one privilege are also affected, because no comparison is performed at all. This issue has been patched in version 29.3.1.

Docker: `PUT /containers/{id}/archive` executes container binary on the host

Moby is an open source container framework. In versions prior to 29.5.1 and in moby/moby v2 prior to v2.0.0-beta.14, when a compressed archive is uploaded to a container via `PUT /containers/{id}/archive` or piped through `docker cp -`, the daemon resolves decompression binaries (such as `xz` or `unpigz`) from the container's filesystem rather than the host's due to incorrect ordering of operations. A malicious container image containing a trojanized decompression binary can achieve arbitrary code execution with full daemon privileges, including host root UID and unrestricted capabilities, when a user uploads a compressed (xz or gzip) archive into that container. This issue is fixed in Docker Engine 29.5.1 and moby/moby v2.0.0-beta.14. Workarounds include only running containers from trusted images, using authorization plugins to restrict access to the `PUT /containers/{id}/archive` endpoint, and avoiding piping compressed archives into containers created from untrusted images

BuildKit Git URL subdir component can cause access to restricted files

BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. Prior to version 0.28.1, insufficient validation of Git URL fragment subdir components may allow access to files outside the checked-out Git repository root. Possible access is limited to files on the same mounted filesystem. The issue has been fixed in version v0.28.1 The issue affects only builds that use Git URLs with a subpath component. As a workaround, avoid building Dockerfiles from untrusted sources or using the subdir component from an untrusted Git repository where the subdir component could point to a symlink.

Moby Netsuite Web Server 1.02 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long HTTP request.

BuildKit vulnerable to malicious frontend causing file escape outside of storage root

BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. Prior to version 0.28.1, when using a custom BuildKit frontend, the frontend can craft an API message that causes files to be written outside of the BuildKit state directory for the execution context. The issue has been fixed in v0.28.1. The vulnerability requires using an untrusted BuildKit frontend set with `#syntax` or `--build-arg BUILDKIT_SYNTAX`. Using these options with a well-known frontend image like `docker/dockerfile` is not affected.

BuildKit possible panic when incorrect parameters sent from frontend

BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. A malicious BuildKit client or frontend could craft a request that could lead to BuildKit daemon crashing with a panic. The issue has been fixed in v0.12.5. As a workaround, avoid using BuildKit frontends from untrusted sources.
