CVE-2019-0204: Apache Mesos

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 2.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A specifically crafted Docker image running under the root user can overwrite the init helper binary of the container runtime and/or the command executor in Apache Mesos versions pre-1.4.x, 1.4.0 to 1.4.2, 1.5.0 to 1.5.2, 1.6.0 to 1.6.1, and 1.7.0 to 1.7.1. A malicious actor can therefore gain root-level code execution on the host.

Affected products

• Apache Mesos: from 1.4.0, before 1.4.3 (fixed in 1.4.3); from 1.5.0, before 1.5.3 (fixed in 1.5.3); from 1.6.0, before 1.6.2 (fixed in 1.6.2); from 1.7.0, before 1.7.2 (fixed in 1.7.2); version 1.8.0 only
• Red Hat Fuse: version 7.5.0 only
