Remedies for dual vulnerabilities affecting Docker on openSUSE 13.2, addressing both privilege escalation risks and container-related security flaws.
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description

docker was updated to version 1.3.2 to fix two security issues.

These security issues were fixed:

- Symbolic and hardlink issues leading to privilege escalation

(CVE-2014-6407).

- Potential container escalation (CVE-2014-6408).

There non-security issues were fixed:

- Fix deadlock in docker ps -f exited=1

- Fix a bug when --volumes-from references a container that failed to start

- --insecure-registry now accepts CIDR notation such as 10.1.0.0/16

- Private registries whose IPs fall in the 127.0.0.0/8 range do no need

the --insecure-registry flag

- Skip the experimental registry v2 API when mirroring is enabled

- Fixed minor packaging issues.
