-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Date: 2017-04-03
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7412
Service: docker
Type: local privilege escalation
Summary
=======
NixOS 17.03 before 17.03.887 has a world-writable Docker socket, which
allows local users to gain privileges by executing docker commands.
NixOS 16.09 is not vulnerable.
Resolution
==========
# nix-channel --update
and ensure your NixOS channel is advanced to 17.03.887 or greater.
Workaround
==========
Manually apply socket permission restrictions to the Docker socket. In
your configuration.nix:
systemd.sockets.docker = {
socketConfig.SocketMode = "0660";
socketConfig.SocketUser = "root";
socketConfig.SocketGroup = "docker";
};
Thank You
=========
