CVE-2020-13401
Description
A flaw was found in Docker when it creates network bridges that accept IPv6 router advertisements by default. This flaw allows an attacker who can execute code in a container to possibly spoof rogue IPv6 router advertisements to perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack against the host network or another container.
Mitigation
Prevent untrusted, non-privileged containers from running with CAP_NET_RAW.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
