"The version of docker installed on the remote host is prior to 25.0.18-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2DOCKER-2026-152 advisory.

    The tar extraction routines in moby/go-archive (Unpack, UnpackLayer, Untar/UntarUncompressed, and the
    ApplyLayer helpers) do not confine filesystem operations to the destination directory. A crafted archive
    can create or overwrite files outside the intended destination. (CVE-2026-17106)

    When Trailer headers are sent by a client, the HTTP server internally uses the header values to populate
    the Request.Trailer map passed to the server handler. Because Request.Trailer is a map, each entry incurs
    memory overhead. For HTTP/2 servers, a malicious client can exploit this by sending a Trailer header
    that declares a large number of fields causing the server to allocate a disproportionate amount of memory
    while bypassing Server.MaxHeaderValueCount and Server.MaxHeaderBytes limits.This exploit is not applicable
    for HTTP/1 servers, which do not support  multiplexing a large number of requests over one TCP connection,
    and whose Server.MaxHeaderBytes are calculated differently.Server.MaxHeaderValueCount and
    Server.MaxHeaderBytes limits are now applied towards the trailer fields declared in Trailer headers.

    When parsing a Range header containing a large number of small ranges, FileServer(FS), ServeContent, and
    ServeFile(FS) could consume an excessive amount of CPU.

    These functions now ignore Range headers containing more than 200 ranges.The limit is controlled by the
    new httpservecontentmaxranges=GODEBUG setting. Setting GODEBUG=httpservecontentmaxranges=0 disables the
    limit.

    The firewall rules which mark VXLAN datagrams for encryption indiscriminately match both authentic VXLAN
    datagrams sent from the kernel and forged datagrams sent by user processes. Any packet sent from the host
    network namespace of a Linux Swarm node is encrypted with the overlay-network IPsec parameters which meets
    the following criteria:

    - UDP datagram- Destination port is the Swarm data-path port- Datagram starts with a VXLAN header for the
    VNI of an encrypted overlay network which any running container on the node is connected to
    (CVE-2026-92542)

    Docker Engine classifies a registry hostname as insecure using an any-match DNS check.
    loadInsecureRegistries() injects 127.0.0.0/8 and ::1/128 as insecure CIDRs by default. isCIDRMatch
    resolves all of the hostname's addresses and returns true if a single address is in the insecure CIDR
    list. Because the transport re-dials the hostname rather than the CIDR-matching address, a DNS answer set
    of one loopback IP plus a non-loopback attacker IP disables certificate verification and enables HTTP
    fallback for the registry connection. (CVE-2026-92543)

    BuildKit may be tricked into performing file actions with special file inodes where regular files are
    expected. Special files may block operations or, on rootful workers, allow unintended host device access.
    (CVE-2026-93320)

    Parsing a multipart form could bypass memory limits and read an arbitrarily long line into memory when the
    remaining limit at the start of a part was less than 400 bytes. Multipart form memory limits are now
    properly enforced in this situation.
