Descriptions

Docker before 1.3.2 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a (1) symlink or (2) hard link attack in an image archive in a (a) pull or (b) load operation.

Docker anterior a 1.3.2 permite a atacantes remotos escribir a ficheros arbitrarios y ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un ataque de (1) enlace simbólico o (2) enlace duro en un archivo de imagen en una operación de (a) tirar o (b) cargar.

Docker versions prior to 1.3.2 suffer from privilege and container escalation vulnerabilities.
