Snyk team has found four vulnerabilities collectively called “Leaky Vessels” that impact the runc and Buildkit container infrastructure and build tools, potentially allowing attackers to perform container escape on various software products.
On January 31, 2024, Buildkit fixed the flaws with version 0.12.5, and runc addressed the security issue impacting it on version 1.1.12.
Docker released version 4.27.0 on the same day, incorporating the secured versions of the components in its Moby engine, with versions 25.0.1 and 24.0.8.
Honestly, if you’re running public facing services, you should run the latest everything you can. There’s a risk that stuff breaks, but at least you’re not having to worry about patched exploits.
I would add latest, security wise, not everything. That would be a recipe for disaster imo.
