CVE-2019-14271
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.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 18.8%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
