How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 docker-bash-completion to version 18.09.6_ce-6.20.3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream docker-bash-completion package and not the docker-bash-completion package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Docker through 18.06.1-ce-rc2, the API endpoints behind the 'docker cp' command are vulnerable to a symlink-exchange attack with Directory Traversal, giving attackers arbitrary read-write access to the host filesystem with root privileges, because daemon/archive.go does not do archive operations on a frozen filesystem (or from within a chroot).
