Docker Security Advisory: Multiple Vulnerabilities in runc, BuildKit, and Moby
www.docker.com
Docker security advisory about multiple vulnerabilities in runc, BuildKit, and Moby: We will publish patched versions of runc, BuildKit, and Moby on January 31 and release an update for Docker Desktop on February 1 to address these vulnerabilities.  Additionally, our latest Moby and BuildKit releases will include fixes for CVE-2024-23650 and CVE-2024-24557, discovered respectively by an independent researcher and through Docker’s internal research initiatives.

Seems like a really serious vulnerability, any container attack or malicious image could take over a container host if there’s no hardening on the containers.

    What are runc, buildkit, moby and docker desktop? Are these tools part of a normal docker setup on linux?

      Docker Desktop won’t really affect you as a Linux user, but moby/buildkit serves as the basis for “docker build” when building docker images. Runc is one of the base packages used for the software and so this will affect nearly all users of Docker until it gets resolved.
