QID 353055: Amazon Linux Security Advisory for docker : ALAS2NITRO-ENCLAVES-2021-003

Docker engine before 18.09 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (dockerd memory consumption) via a large integer in a --cpuset-mems or --cpuset-cpus value, related to daemon/daemon_unix.go, pkg/parsers/parsers.go, and pkg/sysinfo/sysinfo.go. (
( CVE-2018-20699) a command injection flaw was discovered in docker during the `docker build` command.
By providing a specially crafted path argument for the container to build, it is possible to inject command options to the `git fetch`/`git checkout` commands that are executed by docker and to execute code with the privileges of the user running docker.
A local attacker who can run `docker build` with a controlled build path, or a remote attacker who has control over the docker build path, could elevate their privileges or execute code. (
( CVE-2019-13139) in docker ce and ee before 18.09.8 (as well as docker ee before 17.06.2-ee-23 and 18.x before 18.03.1-ee-10), docker engine in debug mode may sometimes add secrets to the debug log.
This applies to a scenario where docker stack deploy is run to redeploy a stack that includes (non external) secrets.
It potentially applies to other api users of the stack api if they resend the secret. (
