CVE-2018-15664 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.5 docker-stable-bash-completion to version 24.0.9_ce-150000.1.25.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream docker-stable-bash-completion package and not the docker-stable-bash-completion package as distributed by SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 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).
