CVE-2022-38730: Race Condition

Q: How can attackers exploit CVE-2022-38730?

Attackers can exploit CVE-2022-38730 by controlling the data-root field inside the DaemonJSON field in the WindowsContainerStartRequest class, allowing them to overwrite any file through the windowscontainers/start dockerBackendV2 API.

First published: Thu Apr 27 2023(Updated: )

Docker Desktop for Windows before 4.6 allows attackers to overwrite any file through the windowscontainers/start dockerBackendV2 API by controlling the data-root field inside the DaemonJSON field in the WindowsContainerStartRequest class. This allows exploiting a symlink vulnerability in ..\dataRoot\network\files\local-kv.db because of a TOCTOU race condition.
