How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 docker.io to version 18.06.1+dfsg1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream docker.io package and not the docker.io package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The default OCI linux spec in oci/defaults{_linux}.go in Docker/Moby from 1.11 to current does not block /proc/acpi pathnames. The flaw allows an attacker to modify host's hardware like enabling/disabling bluetooth or turning up/down keyboard brightness.
