The dangerous Linux privilege escalation flaw dubbed Dirty Pipe that was recently disclosed could also impact applications and systems that use containerization through tools such as Docker, researchers warn. This follows a different privilege escalation vulnerability that was patched last week and could lead to container escapes.
Dirty Pipe “could enable an attacker to effectively modify containers that are running against a shared image, or to poison an image on a host so that new containers would receive modified files,” researcher Rory McCune from cloud security firm Aqua Security said in a blog post.
