Descriptions

Libcontainer and Docker Engine before 1.6.1 opens the file-descriptor passed to the pid-1 process before performing the chroot, which allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack in an image.

Libcontainer and Docker Engine anterior a 1.6.1 abre el descriptor de ficheros pasado al proceso pid-1 antes de realizar el chroot, lo que permite a usuarios locales ganar privilegios a través de una ataque de enlace simbólico en una imagen.

Docker versions prior to 1.6.1 suffer from privilege escalation and information disclosure vulnerabilities.
