CVE-2015-3627  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-59  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 docker.io to version 1.6.1+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.

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.
