  - Moby is an open source container framework. In Docker Engine prior to version 29.5.1, Docker Daemon
    versions 28.5.2 and prior, and Moby Daemon prior to version 2.0.0-beta.14, a race condition during docker
    cp mount setup allows a malicious container to create empty files or directories at arbitrary absolute
    paths on the host filesystem. This issue has been patched in Docker Engine version 29.5.1 and Moby Daemon
    version 2.0.0-beta.14. (CVE-2026-41568)
