Security

This release contains a security fix for CVE-2024-29018, a potential data exfiltration from 'internal' networks via authoritative DNS servers.

Bug fixes and enhancements

  • CVE-2024-29018: Do not forward requests to external DNS servers for a container that is only connected to an 'internal' network. Previously, requests were forwarded if the host's DNS server was running on a loopback address, like systemd's 127.0.0.53. moby/moby#47589

  • plugin: fix mounting /etc/hosts when running in UserNS. moby/moby#47588

  • rootless: fix open /etc/docker/plugins: permission denied. moby/moby#47587

  • Fix multiple parallel docker build runs leaking disk space. moby/moby#47527

25.0.4

2024-03-07

For a full list of pull requests and changes in this release, refer to the relevant GitHub milestones:

Bug fixes and enhancements

  • Restore DNS names for containers in the default "nat" network on Windows. moby/moby#47490
  • Fix docker start failing when used with --checkpoint moby/moby#47466
  • Don't enforce new validation rules for existing swarm networks moby/moby#47482
  • Restore IP connectivity between the host and containers on an internal bridge network. moby/moby#47481
  • Fix a regression introduced in v25.0 that prevented the classic builder from adding tar archive with xattrs created on a non-Linux OS moby/moby#47483
  • containerd image store: Fix image pull not emitting Pulling fs layer status moby/moby#47484
  • API: To preserve backwards compatibility, make read-only mounts non-recursive by default when using older clients (API versions < v1.44). moby/moby#47393
  • API: GET /images/{id}/json omits the Created field (previously it was 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z) if the Created field was missing from the image config. moby/moby#47451
  • API: Populate a missing Created field in GET /images/{id}/json with 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z for API versions <= 1.43. moby/moby#47387
  • API: Fix a regression that caused API socket connection failures to report an API version negotiation failure instead. moby/moby#47470
  • API: Preserve supplied endpoint configuration in a container-create API request, when a container-wide MAC address is specified, but NetworkMode name or id is not the same as the name or id used in NetworkSettings.Networks. moby/moby#47510

Packaging updates

25.0.3

2024-02-06

For a full list of pull requests and changes in this release, refer to the relevant GitHub milestones:

Bug fixes and enhancements

  • containerd image store: Fix a bug where docker image history would fail if a manifest wasn't found in the content store. moby/moby#47348

Packaging updates

25.0.0

2024-01-19

For a full list of pull requests and changes in this release, refer to the relevant GitHub milestones:

Note

In earlier versions of Docker Engine, recursive mounts (submounts) would always be mounted as writable, even when specifying a read-only mount. This behavior has changed in v25.0.0, for hosts running on kernel version 5.12 or later. Now, read-only bind mounts are recursively read-only by default.

To get the same behavior as earlier releases, you can specify the bind-recursive option for the --mount flag.

$ docker run --mount type=bind,src=SRC,dst=DST,readonly,bind-recursive=writable IMAGE

This option isn't supported with the -v or --volume flag. For more information, see Recursive mounts.

New

  • The daemon now uses systemd's default LimitNOFILE. In earlier versions of Docker Engine, this limit was set to infinity. This would cause issues with recent versions of systemd, where the hard limit was increased, causing programs that adjusted their behaviors based on ulimits to consume a high amount of memory. moby/moby#45534

    The new setting makes containers behave the same way as programs running on the host, but may cause programs that make incorrect assumptions based on the soft limit to misbehave. To get the previous behavior, you can set LimitNOFILE=1048576.

    This change currently only affects build containers created with docker build when using BuildKit with the docker driver. Future versions of containerd will also use this limit, which will cause this behavior to affect all containers, not only build containers.

    If you're experiencing issues with the higher ulimit in systemd v240 or later, consider adding a system drop-in or override file to configure the ulimit settings for your setup. The Flatcar Container Linux documentation has a great article covering this topic in detail.

  • Add OpenTelemetry tracing. moby/moby#45652, moby/moby#45579

  • Add support for CDI devices under Linux. moby/moby#45134, docker/cli#4510, moby/moby#46004

  • Add an additional interval to be used by healthchecks during the container start period. moby/moby#40894, docker/cli#4405, moby/moby#45965

  • Add a --log-format flag to dockerd to control the logging format: text (default) or JSON. moby/moby#45737

  • Add support for recursive read-only mounts. moby/moby#45278, moby/moby#46037

Known limitations

Extended attributes for tar files

In this release, the code that handles tar archives was changed to be more strict and to produce an error when failing to write extended attributes (xattr). The tar implementation for macOS generates additional extended attributes by default when creating tar files. These attribute prefixes aren't valid Linux xattr namespace prefixes, which causes an error when Docker attempts to process these files. For example, if you try to use a tar file with an ADD Dockerfile instruction, you might see an error message similar to the following:

failed to solve: lsetxattr /sftp_key.ppk: operation not supported

Error messages related to extended attribute validation were improved to include more context in v25.0.1, but the limitation in Docker being unable to process the files remains. Tar files created with the macOS tar using default arguments will produce an error when the tar file is used with Docker.

As a workaround, if you need to use tar files with Docker generated on macOS, you can either:

  • Use the --no-xattr flag for the macOS tar command to strip all the extended attributes. If you want to preserve extended attributes, this isn't a recommended option.

  • Install and use gnu-tar to create the tarballs on macOS instead of the default tar implementation. To install gnu-tar using Homebrew:

    $ brew install gnu-tar

    After installing, add the gnu-tar binary to your PATH, for example by updating your .zshrc file:

    $ echo 'PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gnu-tar/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
$ source ~/.zshrc
