## Description

Moby is an open source container framework. In Docker Engine prior to
version 29.5.1, Docker Daemon versions 28.5.2 and prior, and Moby Daemon
prior to version 2.0.0-beta.14, a race condition during docker cp mount
setup allows a malicious container to create empty files or directories at
arbitrary absolute paths on the host filesystem. This issue has been
patched in Docker Engine version 29.5.1 and Moby Daemon version
2.0.0-beta.14.

## Notes

### [alexmurray](https://launchpad.net/~alexmurray)

Traditionally the docker.io source package contained both the
library and docker application. 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.
