Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Docker when it creates network bridges that accept IPv6 router advertisements by default. This flaw allows an attacker who can execute code in a container to possibly spoof rogue IPv6 router advertisements to perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack against the host network or another container.

Description Sam Fowler 2020-05-08 06:30:55 UTC
Docker creates network bridges that accept IPv6 router advertisements by default. An attacker able to execute code in a container could exploit this to spoof rogue IPv6 router advertisements to perform a MitM attack against the host network.

Mitigation:

Prevent untrusted, non-privileged containers from running with CAP_NET_RAW.

quay.io runs on OpenShift Dedicated- so AFAIK there is no docker runtime available.  The quay.io builders do perform docker builds but these are done within disposable VMs that only exist for the duration of the build.
