Comment 30 Trevor Jay 2014-06-30 22:40:56 EDT

It was found that the socket used to manage the Docker service was world readable and writable. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to root.

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank Jon Stanley for reporting this issue.
