In Docker 19.03.x before 19.03.1 linked against the GNU C Library (aka glibc), code injection can occur when the nsswitch facility dynamically loads a library inside a chroot that contains the contents of the container.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2019-14271 affects Docker 19.03.x before 19.03.1 when built with glibc. A container can influence library loading during Docker operations involving a chroot, creating a code-injection risk. Exposure appears narrow, but the impact could be serious on container hosts if vulnerable Docker builds remain in use. Most likely exposure is legacy container hosts running Docker 19.03.0-era 19.03.x builds linked against glibc. Environments using distro-packaged Docker from 2019 should verify whether vendor security updates were applied. Treat as a legacy container-host hygiene issue with potentially serious impact but no cited active exploitation. Prioritize finding and updating old Docker 19.03.x deployments, especially where untrusted containers run. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Docker 19.03.x before 19.03.1 to 19.03.1 or later.; Apply relevant distribution security updates from Debian, openSUSE, or your Docker package source.; Check Docker Engine release notes and vendor advisories for product-specific guidance..
