CVE-2017-16539: Mobyproject Moby

Medium severity, CVSS 5.9. EPSS: 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The DefaultLinuxSpec function in oci/defaults.go in Docker Moby through 17.03.2-ce does not block /proc/scsi pathnames, which allows attackers to trigger data loss (when certain older Linux kernels are used) by leveraging Docker container access to write a "scsi remove-single-device" line to /proc/scsi/scsi, aka SCSI MICDROP.

Affected products

• Mobyproject Moby: up to and including 17.03.2
