A malicious BuildKit frontend or Dockerfile using RUN --mount could trick the feature that removes empty files created for the mountpoints into removing a file outside the container, from the host system. The issue has been fixed in v0.12.5. Workarounds include avoiding using BuildKit frontends from an untrusted source or building an untrusted Dockerfile containing RUN --mount feature.

However, in releases that contain the docker.io-app source package, the docker.io source package contains only the library whilst the docker application itself is contained in the docker.io-app package. --- ### [sbeattie](https://launchpad.net/~sbeattie) docker packages contain an embedded copy of github:moby/buildkit ### Patch details For informational purposes only.
