CVE-2026-41568 Details
Description
Moby is an open source container framework. In Docker Engine prior to version 29.5.1, Docker Daemon versions 28.5.2 and prior, and Moby Daemon prior to version 2.0.0-beta.14, a race condition during docker cp mount setup allows a malicious container to create empty files or directories at arbitrary absolute paths on the host filesystem. This issue has been patched in Docker Engine version 29.5.1 and Moby Daemon version 2.0.0-beta.14.
A race condition vulnerability has been identified in Docker Engine versions prior to 29.5.1, Docker Daemon versions 28.5.2 and prior, and Moby Daemon versions prior to 2.0.0-beta.14. This vulnerability allows a malicious container to create empty files or directories at arbitrary absolute paths on the host filesystem. The issue arises during the 'docker cp' mount setup, where a process in the container can swap a path component for a symlink pointing to a location on the host. As a result, the Docker daemon, running as root, creates the file or directory outside the container's root filesystem.
Users can update to Docker Engine version 29.5.1 or Moby Daemon version 2.0.0-beta.14, both of which include the necessary patch. For Docker Daemon users, no version is specified, but they should upgrade to a version that includes the patch.
