Descriptions

Docker Desktop installer on Windows in versions before 4.6.0 allows an attacker to overwrite any administrator writable files by creating a symlink in place of where the installer writes its log file. Starting from version 4.6.0, the Docker Desktop installer, when run elevated, will write its log files to a location not writable by non-administrator users.

El instalador de Docker Desktop en Windows en versiones anteriores a 4.6.0, permite a un atacante sobrescribir cualquier archivo escribible por el administrador creando un enlace simbólico en el lugar donde el instalador escribe su archivo de registro. A partir de la versión 4.6.0, el instalador de Docker Desktop, cuando es ejecutado de forma elevada, escribe sus archivos de registro en una ubicación en la que no pueden escribir los usuarios que no son administradores
