Description Murray McAllister 2014-11-25 00:17:07 UTC 
The following flaw has been fixed in Docker 1.3.2:

""
Docker versions 1.3.0 through 1.3.1 allowed security options to be applied
to images, allowing images to modify the default run profile of containers
executing these images. This vulnerability could allow a malicious image
creator to loosen the restrictions applied to a container’s processes,
potentially facilitating a break-out.

Docker 1.3.2 remedies this vulnerability. Security options applied to
images are no longer consumed by the Docker engine and will be ignored.
Users are advised to upgrade.
""

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank the Docker project for reporting this issue.
