1. Summary:

An update for docker-latest is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
Extras.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extras - x86_64

3. Description:

Docker is an open-source engine that automates the deployment of any
application as a lightweight, portable, and self-sufficient container that
will run virtually anywhere.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
docker-latest (1.12.5). (BZ#1404309)

Security Fix(es):

* The runc component used by `docker exec` feature of docker allowed
additional container processes via to be ptraced by the pid 1 of the
container. This allows the main processes of the container, if running as
root, to gain low-level access to these new processes during
initialization. An attacker can, depending on the nature of the incoming
process, leverage this to elevate access to the host. This ranges from
accessing host content through the file descriptors of the incoming process
to, potentially, a complete container escape by leveraging memory access or
syscall interception. (CVE-2016-9962)

Red Hat would like to thank the Docker project for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Aleksa Sarai (SUSE) and Tonis Tiigi (Docker) as the
original reporters.
