CVE-2026-12539

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Docker Sandboxes (sbx) blocks ICMP egress with an authorizer applied only at network-creation time, and does not re-apply it to networks rebuilt from disk when the Docker daemon restarts, so a restart-surviving sandbox forwards ICMP to arbitrary hosts. A workload inside a sandbox, which the threat model treats as untrusted, can therefore defeat the documented ICMP egress block to perform network reconnaissance and exfiltrate data over an ICMP covert channel, regardless of the configured allowlist.

Una carga de trabajo dentro de un sandbox, que el modelo de amenaza trata como no confiable, puede, por lo tanto, eludir el bloqueo de salida ICMP documentado para realizar reconocimiento de red y exfiltrar datos a través de un canal encubierto ICMP, independientemente de la lista de permitidos configurada."
