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 Red Hat docker package before 1.5.0-28, when using the --add-registry option, falls back to HTTP when the HTTPS connection to the registry fails, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct downgrade attacks and obtain authentication and image data by leveraging a network position between the client and the registry to block HTTPS traffic. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2014-5277 regression.
