Description Vincent Danen 2014-11-17 17:23:37 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2014-5277 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2014-5277
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-5277
Assigned: 20140816
Reference: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/docker-user/oYm0i3xShJU
Reference: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2014-11/msg00048.html

Docker before 1.3.1 and docker-py before 0.5.3 fall back to HTTP when
the HTTPS connection to the registry fails, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct downgrade attacks and obtain
authentication and image data by leveraging a network position between
the client and the registry to block HTTPS traffic.
