CVE-2016-6595 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 docker-python.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream docker-python package and not the docker-python package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The SwarmKit toolkit 1.12.0 for Docker allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (prevention of cluster joins) via a long sequence of join and quit actions. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, stating that this sequence is not "removing the state that is left by old nodes. At some point the manager obviously stops being able to accept new nodes, since it runs out of memory. Given that both for Docker swarm and for Docker Swarmkit nodes are required to provide a secret token (it's actually the only mode of operation), this means that no adversary can simply join nodes and exhaust manager resources. We can't do anything about a manager running out of memory and not being able to add new legitimate nodes to the system. This is merely a resource provisioning issue, and definitely not a CVE worthy vulnerability.
